Churros

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Churro Dough

    In a saucepan, combine water, butter, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat. Stir in flour until a ball forms. Let cool slightly, then beat in eggs one at a time until smooth.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep pan, heat oil to 375°F (190°C).

  3. 3

    Pipe the Churros

    Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe 4-6 inch strips directly into the hot oil, cutting with scissors.

  4. 4

    Fry the Churros

    Fry churros until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Coat with Cinnamon Sugar

    In a bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon. Roll hot churros in the mixture to coat.

  6. 6

    Prepare the Dulce Cream

    In a bowl, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form. Fold in dulce de leche until well combined.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve churros warm with a side of dulce cream for dipping.
