Let’s get real – we all deserve a little afternoon indulgence, and these crispy, golden churros dipped in creamy dulce de leche are basically what dreams are made of. Trust me, once you try these, you’ll be doing a little happy dance in your kitchen!
What You’ll Need:
– 1 cup water
– 1 cup all-purpose flour

– 2 large eggs
– Vegetable oil for frying
– 1/2 cup sugar mixed with 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Now, let’s get cooking, chicas!
Steps:
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. Remove from heat and add flour all at once, stirring like your life depends on it until you get a smooth dough. Let it cool for 5 minutes (perfect time to check your Instagram, just saying 💁♀️).
1. Add eggs one at a time, mixing until the dough is shiny and smooth. Transfer to a piping bag with a star tip.
1. Heat oil to 375°F in a deep pot. Please be careful – hot oil burns are NOT the kind of spicy we’re going for here!
1. Pipe 4-inch strips directly into the hot oil, cutting with scissors. Fry until golden brown (about 2 minutes per side).
1. Roll those babies in the cinnamon-sugar mixture while they’re still hot!
1. Serve with warm dulce de leche for dipping, and try not to eat them all before sharing (although I wouldn’t judge you if you did 😘).
Y’all, these churros are seriously life-changing! They’re crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and that dulce de leche? _chef’s kiss_ Perfect for your afternoon coffee break or when you need to bribe your kids to do their homework (kidding… kind of!).
