Method

Churro Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Step 1: Combine Ingredients

    In a medium saucepan, combine water, butter, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.

  2. 2

    Step 2: Add Flour

    Once boiling, remove from heat and stir in the flour until the mixture forms a ball. Let it cool for about 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Step 3: Add Eggs and Vanilla

    Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until the dough is smooth.

Frying Churros

    Step 4: Heat Oil

    In a large pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  2. 5

    Step 5: Pipe Dough

    Transfer the churro dough into a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe strips of dough (about 4-6 inches long) into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pot.

  3. 6

    Step 6: Fry Churros

    Fry churros for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

    In a shallow bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.

    Step 8: Coat Churros

    Roll the fried churros in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.

  3. 9

    Step 9: Serve with Dulce de Leche

    To make the Dulce de Leche, simply simmer the can of sweetened condensed milk in a pot of water for about 2 hours, making sure to keep it covered with water. Once done, cool and serve it alongside the churros.
