I recently purchased your Cook'n Recipe Software and love it! I have tried several other cookbook programs but found them unsatisfactory.

My main goal was to put my own recipes into a system that was easy and quick. I have put in about 20 so far, and I love it. It is so easy to use.

I have tried several of your recipes and they all have been wonderful!

Thank you!!

	Chocolate-Orange Churros

Serves: 20

When I was at the University of Guadalajara, my breakfast, like that of millions of Mexicans, was hot chocolate and churros, deep-fried ridged crullers sprinkled with confectioners' sugar. My version uses the traditional cream puff-like dough, but it is perked up with orange zest and coated with cocoa powder. You'll need a large pastry bag titted with a fluted tip to shape the churros.
Makes 20 churros

   1/2 cup water
   1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), cut into 1/2-inch pieces
   2 tablespoons granulated sugar
   Grated zest of 1 orange
   1/2 teaspoon salt
   1 cup all-purpose flour
   4 large eggs, beaten
   1 teaspoon vanilla extract
   Vegetable shortening or vegetable oil for deep-frying
   1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
   3 tablespoons unsweetened baking cocoa powder
   1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1. In a medium, heavy saucepan, combine the water, butter, granulated sugar, orange zest, and salt. Boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally so that the butter is completely melted by the time the water boils. Add the flour and stir until the dough forms a ball that leaves the sides of the pan and begins to film the bottom of the pan, about 1 1/2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool for 2 minutes. Gradually beat in the eggs, then the vanilla. Transfer to a pastry bag fitted with a No.5 fluted tip (a 1/2-inch-wide opening).

2. Preheat the oven to 200°F. Place a large wire cake rack over a jelly roll pan. In a deep Dutch oven, melt vegetable shortening over high heat to a depth of 2 to 3 inches and heat to 375°F. In batches, without crowding, pipe 4- to 5-inch lengths of dough into the hot shortening, cutting off each length with a small sharp knife. Deep-fry until golden brown, about 2 1/2 minutes. Using a wire-mesh skimmer, transfer the churros to the wire rack to drain, and keep warm in the oven while frying the rest.

3. In a small bowl, mix the confectioners' sugar, cocoa, and cinnamon and place in a wire sieve. Sift the mixture over the churros and serve immediately.
