How to Make Churros
Time: 30min
Number of servings: 6
Ingredients:
100g (3.5oz.) bread flour *you can use all-purpose flour or cake flour
* 150ml milk
* 20g (0.7oz.) unsalted butter
* a pinch of salt
1 egg
a few drops of vanilla extract
vegetable oil for deep frying
((Cinnamon Sugar))
1 tsp. cinnamon powder
3 tbsp. granulated sugar
Directions:
((Churros))
1. Cut parchment paper into six 5-inch squares.
2. Put A in a pan and bring to a boil.
3. Remove the pan from the heat and sift in the flour all at once. Then mix well with a wooden spatula or spoon until smooth.
4. Add beaten egg little by little and mix well. Then add vanilla extract to add flavor.
5. Transfer the batter to a pastry bag fitted with a large (0.6inch) star tip (do NOT use a round tip or the batter will explode!!!). Pipe rings onto the parchment papers. OR you can squeeze out the batter directly into the oil, cutting it with scissors.
6. Deep fry in oil at low (170C=338F) for about 4 minutes until golden brown (flip them 2 or 3 times). Remove the parchment papers when they start to come off. Place them on a wire rack to cool.
((Cinnamon Sugar))
1. Combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon powder in a Ziploc bag. Add churros (while they are still warm) one by one and shake until thoroughly coated.
You can dust churros with confectioner's sugar and serve with hot chocolate sauce :)

HAZELNUT CHOCOLATE CAKE (No Bake)
HAZELNUT CHOCOLATE CAKE
Packed full of hazelnut goodness, this cake is so sticky and delicious, you won't believe it's a no-bake cake, with no refined sugar, wheat, dairy or soy.
Cake:
500g hazelnuts - process to a fine flour in a mill or high speed blender
7 tbsp cacao butter (gently melted)
150g cacao powder
few drops hazelnut extract (optional)
3 tbsp raw honey
Gooey sticky middle layer:
360g medjool dates
1 tbsp cacao powder
3 tbsp hazelnut butter (or peanut butter)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp maple syrup
2 drops hazelnut extract (optional)
1 tbsp cacao butter (melted)
Chocolate icing:
100g cacao butter
3 tbsp hazelnut butter (or tahini/peanut butter)
2 tbsp cacao powder
2 tbsp lucuma
1 drop hazelnut extract
Method for the cake layer:
1. Mix the above cake layer ingredients by hand and then put half of the mixture into a silicone mould of your choice.
Method for the sticky middle layer:
1. Process all the above ingredients in the food processor - start with the dates first then add the others one by one - keep pulsing and scraping!
2. Spoon this decadent mixture over the first cake layer, then add the second lot of cake mixture over the top and firm down with hands or spoon!
Pop the cake in the freezer
Method for the chocolate icing:
1. Mix together by hand (or blend for a smoother finish) then take the cake out of the freezer. Make sure it's set enough before you take it out.
2. Ice the cake, and if you have enough, do a double icing!
