# Instrucciones:
01 - Combine water, sugar, butter, and salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil.
02 - Remove saucepan from heat, add flour all at once, and stir vigorously until a smooth dough forms, pulling away from the sides.
03 - Let the dough cool for 5 minutes. Add egg and vanilla, beating until smooth and glossy. The dough will be sticky.

05 - Heat oil in a deep pot to 350°F (175°C).

07 - Remove churros with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. While warm, roll churros in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
08 - Heat cream in a small saucepan until steaming. Remove from heat, add chopped chocolate, sugar (if using), and a pinch of salt. Stir until smooth and glossy.
09 - Serve churros warm with the chocolate dip on the side.
