Girl, let me tell you about this absolutely divine Latin treat that’s been making waves in my kitchen lately – Churros con Dulce de Leche! This isn’t your basic carnival churro; we’re taking it to a whole new level of deliciousness that’ll have your taste buds doing the salsa! 💃
Let me spill the tea on this heavenly combination that’s seriously becoming my go-to afternoon delight. First things first, honey, you’ll need:
For the churros:
– 1 cup water
– 1 cup all-purpose flour (the good stuff!)
– ½ stick butter
– ¼ tsp salt
– 2 large eggs
– Vegetable oil for frying
– Cinnamon sugar for coating (because duh!)
For the dulce de leche dip:
– 1 can sweetened condensed milk
– Pinch of sea salt (trust me on this one!)
Okay, queens, here’s how we’re gonna make magic happen!
First, let’s tackle that dulce de leche because it needs some time (and patience, which I know isn’t my strong suit either 😅). Pour the condensed milk into a double boiler and let it do its thing for about 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally. You’ll know it’s ready when it turns into this gorgeous caramel color that’ll make your mouth water!
(BTW, if you’re loving this recipe so far, make sure to follow me on Newsbreak for more daily recipes that’ll make your kitchen the hottest spot in town! 🔥)
Now for the churros:
1. In a saucepan, bring water, butter, and salt to a boil
2. Add flour all at once (yes, all at once – we’re being brave here!)
3. Stir like your life depends on it until it forms a smooth ball
4. Let it cool for 5 minutes (perfect time to check your Instagram, just saying)
5. Beat in those eggs one at a time until the mixture is smooth and glossy
Here’s where the fun begins! Heat your oil to 375°F (and please use a thermometer – we’re not trying to burn down the kitchen today). Pipe the dough into hot oil using a star-tipped pastry bag (makes those gorgeous ridges we all love). Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes each side.
Roll those bad boys in cinnamon sugar while they’re still hot – this part is non-negotiable, sweetie!
The grand finale? Serve these crispy, warm churros with your homemade dulce de leche dip, and watch everyone’s eyes roll back in pure bliss!
I’m telling you, this combo is absolutely everything! It’s giving me major abuela vibes, but with a modern twist that’ll have everyone begging for the recipe.
