Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour(sifted)
  • 8 1/8 fl oz water(cold)
  • 2 tbsp butter(unsalted, cut into pieces)
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar(for the dough)
  • 1/4 tsp salt(fine)
  • 2 pcs eggs(room temperature)
  • 1 qt vegetable oil(for deep frying)
  • 4oz granulated sugar(for coating)
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon(optional, mixed with coating sugar)
  • 1 cup dulce de leche(warmed for dipping)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract(optional, adds flavor to dough)

Instructions

Churro dough

  1. In a medium saucepan combine water, butter, 2 tbsp granulated sugar and salt; bring to a rolling boil over medium heat.
  2. Remove pan from heat and quickly stir in the sifted flour until a smooth dough forms and pulls away from the pan.
  3. Let the dough cool 4–5 minutes, then transfer to a mixing bowl and beat in eggs one at a time until fully incorporated and glossy; stir in vanilla if using.
  4. Fit a large piping bag with a star tip and fill with the churro dough, keeping a portion covered to prevent drying.

Frying & coating

  1. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot to 175–185°C (350–365°F); maintain temperature with a thermometer for even frying.
  2. Pipe 5–7 cm strips directly into the hot oil and cut with scissors into bite-sized pieces, or pipe onto a spatula and slide into oil in small batches.
  3. Fry batches for 2–3 minutes, turning occasionally, until deep golden brown and crisp; do not overcrowd the pot.
  4. Drain churro bites on paper towels, then toss while warm in a bowl with granulated sugar and ground cinnamon to coat evenly.

Dulce de leche dip

  1. Warm dulce de leche gently in a small saucepan over low heat or microwave in short bursts until pourable, stirring to smooth.
  2. Transfer warm dulce de leche to a small ramekin for dipping; optionally stir in a little butter for a glossier sauce.
  3. Serve churro bites immediately with the warm dulce de leche and enjoy while hot and crisp.

Tips

  • Keep oil temperature steady and fry in small batches to ensure even color and minimal oil absorption.
  • Serve churro bites hot with warm dulce de leche; dipping immediately preserves crisp texture.
