1
Pour the condensed milk into a medium saucepan and cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly until it turns a caramel color (about 10 minutes).
-
2
Slowly add the coconut milk and whisk until smooth (about 5 minutes longer).
-
3
Remove from heat and put the lid on to keep warm for use as the dipping sauce.
-
4
In another saucepan, combine the whole milk, butter, sugar, vanilla extract and salt.
-
5
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, just until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves.
-
6
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the flour 1/4 cup at a time, stirring with a spatula until the mixture gathers into a glossy ball (about 1 minute).
-
7
Transfer to the bowl of a stand mixer and let cool for 5 minutes.
-
8
Beat in the eggs one at a time at medium-low speed until combined well.
-
9
Transfer the batter into a piping bag fitted with a 1/2-inch star tip.
-
10
Fill a large, heavy saucepan with 2 to 3 inches of vegetable oil, and warm the oil over medium heat.
-
11
Meanwhile, line a large plate with paper towels for draining the fried churros.
-
12
Get the topping ready by mixing together the brown sugar, ground cinnamon and granulated sugar, and spread it on a baking sheet that youve lined with parchment paper.
-
13
Set aside.
-
14
Test the oil by squeezing in a drop of batter.
-
15
If it browns quickly, then the oil is ready.
-
16
If you have a thermometer, check to see that it registers 350 F.
-
17
Working in batches of four churros at a time, squeeze your desired lengths of the dough into the hot oil.
-
18
Since I didnt have the right tip, I tried squeezing both 6-inch and a much shorter (2-inch) length of dough and it turned out well.
-
19
Use a knife or kitchen scissors to cut the segments of batter off from the tip of the piping bag.
-
20
When the churros become dark golden brown on one side, turn them over to fry the other side (about 1-2 minutes per side).
-
21
Remove the churros from the oil when they are done, and set them on the paper towels to blot away excess oil only briefly.
-
22
Roll the churros in the cinnamon-sugar mixture and serve hot with the condensed milk dipping sauce on the side.
