Instructions
Dulce De Leche:
- Place a large Dutch oven on the stove set to medium-low heat. Add milk, sugar and baking soda and bring to a boil, then simmer on low for about 2-2 ½ hours. Occasionally stir to ensure the dulce de leche does not stick or burn.
- Once completely thickened, serve with churros. Can be stored for 2 weeks in the fridge and warmed again to serve.
Churros:
- In a medium size saucepan over medium heat, bring water, butter, salt, sugar and vanilla paste to a low boil. Once it comes to a boil turn off the heat. Add in the Caputo "00" Baking Flour and mix with a wooden spoon until all the flour is incorporated.
- Add batter to a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Turn on the mixture at low speed for a few minutes to cool the batter slightly.
- With the mixer on, add one egg at a time until fully combined. You may have to scrape down the sides. Mix until all the eggs are fully incorporated, the batter will be thick.
- Transfer your batter to a large pastry bag fitted with a large star tip.
- In a Dutch oven, heat up Olitalia Frienn Frying Oil to 350°F.
- Combine cinnamon and sugar in a large bowl and set aside.
- Once the oil is heated, pipe in churros about 2-3 inches long a piece. Use scissors to cut them from the tip and drop them into the fryer. Fry on each side for about 2 minutes or until golden.
- Toss each churro into the cinnamon sugar mixture right away.
- Serve warm with dulce de leche sauce and enjoy!
