While they cool, we make our mini churros: in a saucepan, heat the water with a drop of oil and a pinch of salt.

When it boils, we add the flour suddenly and stir quickly. A kind of "paste" will be created.

We remove the saucepan from the heat and take the sticky dough with the wooden spoon and put it in the pastry bag.

Next, we heat the oil in another pan. When it is very hot, we start to pour our churros (be careful with burning !!).

We will need at least one mini churro per cupcake. (With what over dough we make more churros and we can eat them)

As soon as the mini churros start to brown, we take them out and leave them on kitchen paper so that they lose the excess oil. Finally, we go through sugar.

To prepare the buttercream we have to sift the icing sugar with the cocoa and place them in a bowl together with the butter and the milk. We cover the bowl, beat on low speed a minute. Then we increase the speed and beat at least another 5 minutes at high speed. The buttercream will turn creamy and deep chocolate color.

As always, the possibilities are many and varied, so use your imagination to try new recipes.
