Step 1

Preheat the oven to CircoTherm® 185°C, with medium steam. Place silicon baking mats or baking parchment onto two baking sheets.

Step 2

Add the water, butter, salt, vanilla extract and brown sugar to a saucepan and bring to the boil. Simmer for a minute or two until the sugar dissolves. Turn the heat down to low and stir in the flour, using a wooden spoon. Continue to cook on low, stirring for a minute until the mixture is thick. Turn off the heat.

Step 3

Using the wooden spoon, stir the eggs into the mixture, one-at-a time until combined. Don’t over-stir.

Step 4

Spoon the mixture into a piping bag with a large star tip (Wilton #1M is a good size).

Pipe rows approx. 8-10cm long onto the baking sheets. Leave 2-3 cm between each churro, as they will expand slightly. Place in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

Step 5

Whilst the churros are baking, make the orange hot chocolate sauce. Place the cocoa powder, sugar, chocolate, orange extract and milk into a saucepan. Heat on a medium heat, stirring regularly, until almost boiling, then turn the heat down to low.

Step 6

Mix together the cornflour and water in a separate bowl, then pour it into the chocolate mixture, a splash at a time, whilst stirring, until the mixture thickens. Spoon into a bowl and sprinkle the orange zest on top.

Step 7

Mix together the caster sugar and cinnamon on a large plate. Take the churros out of the oven and brush with the melted butter, then roll in the cinnamon sugar.
