  • 1½ cups + 1 tablespoon water 375 ml
  • 1½ cups + 1 tablespoon whole milk 375 ml
  • 3¾ cups all-purpose flour 450 g
  • ¼ cup + 1 tablespoon granulated sugar 60 g

Instructions
 

How to Make Filled Churros

  • Cook the Dough: Add the water, milk, flour, sugar, and butter to a large pot. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until a smooth dough forms, pulls away cleanly from the sides and bottom of the pot, and no longer looks wet.
  • Cool Slightly: Remove the dough from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes. It should still be warm, but not hot enough to cook the eggs.
  • Add the Eggs: Transfer the dough to a stand mixer and mix on low speed. Add the eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to become completely incorporated before adding the next.
  • Mix Until Smooth: Continue mixing until the dough is smooth, uniform, and soft enough to pipe.
  • Pipe: Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip and pipe the churros into your desired length.
  • Fry: Fry the churros in hot oil until golden on the outside and cooked through.
  • Drain: Transfer the churros to a paper towel-lined tray or cooling rack and let the excess oil drain.
  • Fill: Once the churros are cool enough to handle, fill them with the 120 g dulce de leche, dividing it between approximately 15 churros.
