Verskit Tail Churros

Course: Dessert
Cuisine: Spanish

Ingredients

Churros

  • peanut oil
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp rubbed sage
  • 2 cups milk
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1 vanilla bean split
  • 2 egg

Spice Topping

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp sage

Chocolate Sauce

  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup dulce de leche
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions

  • Combine the flour, nutmeg, and sage in a small bowl.
  • In a saucepan, heat the milk, butter, salt, sugar, cinnamon stick, and vanilla bean over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and then turn off the heat. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes to infuse the flavors together.
  • Remove the cinnamon stick and vanilla bean. Scrape the vanilla bean and place the seeds in the heated milk. Bring back to a boil and then turn off the heat again.
  • Add the flour mixture in and mix with a spatula until it forms a smooth dough.
  • Allow the dough to cool. While the dough is cooling, pour 1 ½ inch worth of peanut oil in a deep pot. Begin to heat up to 350°F.
  • Once the dough has cooled, mix in the eggs one at a time. Mix until completely smooth.
  • Place the dough in a pastry bag with a star tip. On a plate, combine the sugar, cinnamon, and sage and set aside.
  • After the oil has heated, squeeze a 3-4 inch long strip of dough into the hot oil. Repeat this 3 times per batch. If the dough is sticking to the end, use a spatula to separate it from the star tip. Use a pair of tongs to shape the churro into a straightish line. Fry the churros for about 2 minutes, flip, and fry for another 2 minutes or until they are golden brown.
  • Transfer the fried churro onto a plated lined with paper towel to remove any excess oil. Repeat frying until all the dough is fried.
  • Once the churro is cool enough to handle toss in the sugar, cinnamon, and sage mixture. I recommend serving these hot.
  • To make the sauce, combine the dark chocolate, heavy cream, dulce de leche, butter, and salt in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Heat until everything is well combined.
