_Sips my café con leche_
Ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you about a recipe that will transport you straight to my abuela’s kitchen! If you’re looking for the perfect Latin afternoon treat that’ll make your taste buds dance salsa, you’ve come to the right place. Today, I’m sharing my family’s treasure – Churros con Dulce de Leche y Chocolate (and yes, it’s as heavenly as it sounds! 💃🏽).
Listen, honey, I know what you’re thinking – “Aren’t churros complicated to make?” Well, grab your apron because I’m about to prove you wrong! This recipe has been passed down through generations, and now I’m spilling all the tea (or should I say chocolate?).
Ingredients (serves 6):
– 1 cup water
– 1 cup all-purpose flour (sifted, please – we’re not savages!)
– 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 3 large eggs
– Vegetable oil for frying
– Cinnamon sugar for coating
– Store-bought dulce de leche (because mama needs a shortcut sometimes!)
– Dark chocolate for dipping

Instructions:
1. In a medium saucepan, bring water, butter, and salt to a boil. Girl, watch it carefully – we’re making churros, not a mess!
1. Add flour all at once, stirring vigorously until mixture forms a smooth ball (about 1 minute). Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
1. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. The dough should be glossy and smooth – like your favorite lipstick!
1. Heat oil to 375°F in a deep fryer or large pot. While waiting, fill a piping bag with your dough and attach a star tip.
1. Pipe 4-inch strips directly into the hot oil, cutting with scissors. (Pro tip: don’t crowd the pan – these babies need their space to groove!)
1. Fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and roll in cinnamon sugar while still warm.
Now for the fun part! Serve these bad boys with warm dulce de leche and melted chocolate for dipping. And honey, if you’re not double-dipping, you’re not living your best life! 💁♀️
The result? Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and absolutely irresistible! My friends always beg for this recipe, and now you’ve got the secret formula!
