Instructions
Dulce de leche
Can be made in advance.
Place can of condensed coconut milk in large pot and cover with water, a few centimeters above the can. Bring pot to a low simmer, reduce heat to low. Let simmer for 2-3 h. Check occasionally and make sure the can is covered with water
Let cool before opening the can.
Can be made a few days in advance and stored in the fridge.
Churros
Mix water, margarine, salt and sugar in a pot. Bring to a simmer and allow margarine to melt.
Mix in the flour. The dough will be very stiff.
When cool enough to handle, fill a piping bag with the dough.
Heat oil for deep frying. About 150°C. If you don't have a thermometer, you can try adding a small piece of dough. It shoudl start bubbling straight away and turn golden in about 1 min.
Pipe strands of dough onto a parchment sheet, using a knife or scissors to cut it from the bag. This requires a lot of force as the dough is very dense. Pipe out a few strands (5-7) and add to the oil in batche.You can pipe straight into the oil bath but this is a bit of a safety issue.
Deep fry the strands for a few minutes, until they start to turn golden.Place on a paper towel to get rid of some oil and then roll in sugar.
Enjoy with your dulce de leche. The churros can be eaten straight away or enjoyed a few h later.
