14 oz sweetened condensed milk (1 can)

Preparation

Churros:

2.     Stir in flour all at once.

3.     Cook until paste comes together and pulls away from the pot.

4.     Place dough in a mixing bowl; using the paddle attachment, combine eggs slowly, one at a time.

5.     Use a pastry tip (#867 star) to pipe four churros onto parchment paper.

6.     Drop into hot oil and cook until golden brown.

7.     Once finished, roll in cinnamon and sugar.

Dulce de Leche:

1.     Preheat oven to 425 F

2.     Pour the sweetened condensed milk out of the can and into a small baking dish, cover tightly with foil.

3.     Place the covered baking dish into a larger baking dish or pan, and pour hot water into the larger pan until it is halfway up the sides of the smaller dish.

4.     Bake in the oven for 2 hours, making sure the water stays full around the dish – refill as needed.

5.     Let cool & whisk the dulce de leche to achieve smooth texture.
