Ingredients

  1. 1 cup milk
  2. Two 13.5-ounce cans sweetened condensed milk
  3. 1 cup heavy cream
  4. 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  5. 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  6. 1/2 cup brown sugar
  7. 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  8. Pinch large flake sea salt
  9. 2 cups water
  10. 14 tablespoons butter
  11. 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  12. 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  13. 2 cups all-purpose flour
  14. 30 ounces (3 3/4 cups) canola oil, for frying
  15. 4 eggs

Instructions

  1. For the caramel sauce: Add the milk, 1 can condensed milk, cream and then the remaining can condensed milk to a blender. Add the salt. Blend, starting on low and going all the way up to high, until smooth. Pour into a serving dish.
  2. For the cinnamon sugar: Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon and sea salt to a shallow dish and mix together, breaking up any clumps with your fingers.
  3. For the churros: In a medium saucepan over medium high heat, combine water, butter, salt, and sugar and bring to a boil. Add the flour and mix vigorously with a wooden spoon until mixture is the consistency of an elastic paste.
  4. Add the hot mixture to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and allow to cool to room temperature (do not refrigerate) for about 5 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, fill a Dutch oven with oil to come about 3 to 4 inches up the sides. Heat to 375 degrees F.
  6. Turn the mixer on medium-low speed and add the eggs one at a time. Transfer dough to a piping bag. Pipe the dough in 3-inch pieces into the preheated oil. Fry until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined sheet tray and toss churros in the cinnamon sugar while they’re still very warm. Serve churros in small waxed parchment bags with caramel sauce on the side.

The Carmel Sauce needs more details. We do not have the blender that makes soup. This was amiss in details. It looks great in the picture, just lacking on awareness.
