Description

Directions

• In a saucepan over medium-hot heat, combine the milk, water, salt, sugar, and butter. Mix until the butter is melted and bring the mixture to a boil.
• As soon as the mixture boils, remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla.
• Stir in the flour and, using a rubber spatula, continue to mix (and press out any lumps) until the dough is completely smooth.
• Transfer the mixture to a large piping bag fitted with an open star tip.
• Onto a sheet of parchment paper, pipe long strips of the dough. Allow to rest for 15-20 minutes.
• In the meantime, preheat a deep fryer (or heavy bottomed pot over medium heat) to 360 degrees F.
• Carefully roll up the long strips of dough into a circle the size you want your sandwich to be.
• Place 2 churros circles at a time in the deep fryer or pot.
• Allow the churros to fry until they are golden brown flipping about halfway through the cooking time. (In a deep fryer it took about 5-7 minutes total for me)
• Remove the churro circles onto a plate lined with paper towels. If you have a deep fryer, you can just dump from the wire mesh and if you are using a pot, use a wire skimmer.
• In a small bowl, stir together the 2 tablespoons white sugar, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and cinnamon.
• Place the hot churros in the mixture and coat evenly with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
• While still very warm, fill the center with vanilla bean ice cream (or ice cream of choice!).
• Enjoy immediately!
• If you want to add a chocolate ganache to the sandwich, prepare the ganache by microwaving the heavy whipping cream in a microwave-safe bowl fro 45 seconds to a minute or until very hot. Pour in the dark chocolate chips and stir until smooth and creamy.
• Dip the sandwich in the ganache if desired.
