Churros with chocolate-sherry sauce

Alcoholic beverages Spanish cuisine

Having always been a lover of donuts (which isn't that surprising, really—who doesn't love deep-fried batter that's crispy on the outside and light and fluffy in the center?), I immediately fell for churros. I first came across them on a trip to Majorca, one of Spain's Balearic Islands, and to my surprise—and immense pleasure—the cinnamon-dusted treats were served with a chocolate dipping sauce. Because I recently moved to Southwest France, a short drive away from the Spanish border, I now get to regularly enjoy the dish, but the homemade version is just as delicious—especially when it's served with a dark chocolate and sherry sauce.
