Churros with choc sauce

For the churros:
Cinnamon sugar mixture: mix and set aside
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
For the Churros :
1 cup water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tbsp sugar
90g butter
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 egg
For the chocolate sauce:
3 1/2 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup heavy cream
Equipment: a cloth pastry bag or heavy-duty plastic pastry bag; a large star pastry tip (such as Wilton #2110)
Directions:

Make the churros:
Choux pastry mix:
In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the water, sugar, salt n butter. Bring the mixture to a boil then remove it from the heat. Stir in the flour, mixing until it forms a ball.
Cool it for a minute.
Now this is a hard part if you do manually.
Break an egg into the mixture n stir hard n fast until the egg is well combined into the choux pastry.
Alternatively you can transfer all the choux pastry to an electric mixer with a pedal attachment and beat the egg in there. This is extremely useful if you multiply the original recipe to get more Churros

Once pastry has cooled a bit, then u can pipe it.

Heat 3 to 4 inches of vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot set over medium-high heat until it reaches 375ºF. (There should be a minimum of 3 inches above the oil to prevent it from bubbling over.)
Transfer the dough to a cloth pastry bag or heavy-duty plastic bag fitted with a large star tip.
Pipe the dough over the pot of oil to a length of about 4 inches, or any desired length, then using scissors or a sharp knife, cut it so it releases into the oil. (Stand back to avoid any splatters.) Pipe two to three churros into the oil at a time, frying them until they're golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the churros to the paper towel-lined plate to drain for 2 minutes, then roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Repeat the frying and coating process with the remaining dough.
Serve the churros with the warm chocolate sauce
Make the chocolate sauce:
Place the chopped chocolate in a small bowl.
Warm the heavy cream in small saucepan. (Do not let it boil.) Pour the heavy cream over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for 1 minute then stir to combine. Leave it to cool
