Ingredients

  • 3 cups milk
  • 1⁄3 cup butter, melted
  • 1 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups flour
  • Canola oil, for frying
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1⁄4 cup cinnamon
  • 1 quart vanilla ice cream

Instructions

  1. In a medium-sized saucepan, bring the milk, butter and salt to a boil. Add the flour and turn the heat off. Quickly stir the flour until it forms a smooth paste/ball.
  2. Transfer the dough into a piping bag lined with a star tip. Pipe 6-inch spirals onto a sheet lined with parchment paper, starting from the middle and going around in a circle, making sure that there are no gaps between the loops. (Invert the parchment paper and draw 6-inch circles on the underside as a guide for piping the dough). Repeat with the remaining dough.
  3. Freeze the circles for at least 2 hours.
  4. Heat the Canola oil in a pot over high heat.
  5. Fry the circles until light golden brown, then drain them on a paper towel.
  6. Mix the sugar and the cinnamon in a separate bowl and coat each churro disc in the cinnamon sugar mix, shaking off any excess. Place a scoop of ice cream in between 2 churro discs and enjoy.
