CHURROS Recipe with Dulce de Leche and Nutella

dulce de leche

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: caramel sauce

Greek yogurt provides a creamy texture with fewer calories.

Start by adding 1 cup of water to a medium sized saucepan.

Add 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter.

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat and stir for the butter to melt.

Add 1 cup of all-purpose flour and lower the heat to low; mix well to combine without lumps.

Cook for a few minutes until the dough comes together and leaves a thin film at the bottom of the pan.

Transfer the dough to a heatproof bowl and spread it out; let it cool for a few minutes.

Once the dough has cooled, add 3 eggs one at a time, ensuring each is well combined before adding the next.

Also add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract when adding the eggs.

Prepare a piping bag with a star tip and transfer the dough into the bag.

Mix 1/2 cup of sugar with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon for coating the churros after frying.

Pipe the churros into hot oil and cut them with kitchen scissors to the desired length.

Heat oil in a large pan until it reaches 370°F (187°C).

Turn the churros a few times while frying until they're nice and golden.

Transfer the churros to a wire rack lined with paper towel to drain.

Once cooled enough to handle, roll them in the cinnamon sugar to coat.

For round churros, pipe them over parchment paper and peel off into the oil.

Serve churros with cinnamon sugar, dulce de leche, Nutella, or chocolate ganache.
