Churros as microphones: a sweet ode to the Central American correspondent.
Festive Mexican churros shaped like microphones, with a chocolate ball as the head, a nod to the correspondent reporting from Central America. The microphone is the journalist's symbol, perfectly matching the theme of the series.
Ingredients
- 250 ml water
- 100 g unsalted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 150 g flour
- 2 eggs
- sunflower oil for frying
- 100 g dark chocolate
- 50 ml heavy cream
- 4 round chocolate truffles
- sugar and cinnamon for dusting
Method
- Bring the water, butter, salt, and sugar to a boil in a saucepan.

- Put the dough into a piping bag with a star nozzle.
- Heat the oil to 180°C.
- Pipe 4 long churros (about 15 cm) directly into the oil and fry until golden. Drain on paper towels.
- Roll the churros in cinnamon sugar.
- Melt the dark chocolate with the cream into a smooth sauce.
