Churros with Caramel Dip Recipe

In a large bowl, sift fl our, baking powder, salt, and sugar together. Make a well. Melt butter in hot water then pour into the well; mix until a soft , sticky dough is created. Spoon into a piping bag with a large, star tip. Set aside.

In a large, nonstick saute pan over low heat, heat enough oil to cover the churros, about 1 1?2 inches. Pipe out dough lengths directly into the hot oil, cutting each stick with a knife or scissors. Let cook, about 4 minutes, fl ipping until golden brown on all sides. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Serve with your favorite dip.

Make the salted caramel sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, simmer sugar and honey in butter, occasionally stirring with a silicone spatula, about 3 minutes. Add rock salt, stir to dissolve, then remove from heat. Stir in cream then cool. Makes about 1 cup.
