Mexican Hot Chocolate With Churros


Mexican Hot Chocolate
(The perfect accompaniment to serve with churros)

1 pint milk
1 pint half-and-half
8 ounces Mexican chocolate
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate

Grind chocolate in a food processor and then bring milk to a boil.
Reduce to a slow simmer and gradually whisk in the chocolate.
(Linquist says he likes to put the hot chocolate mixture into the
blender after heating to create a frothy consistency.)
Dip churros into the Mexican hot chocolate.




Churros (Mexican doughnuts)

2 1/2 cups water
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
4 ounces butter
2 cups cake flour
1/2 cup all purpose flour
3 eggs
2 quarts vegetable oil for frying


In a medium-sized pot, add all ingredients except flour and eggs.
Bring to a boil and then add flour.
Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring constantly.
The dough will form a ball in the center when it is through cooking.
Move hot mixture to a mixing bowl and whisk in eggs one at a
time until fully incorporated.
Let dough cool and then place it in a pastry piping bag with a
large star tip.
To Cook:
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet to 325 degrees and pipe
the dough into the pan in long sticks.
Fry until golden brown and serve by sprinkling each one with
cinnamon and sugar.
