- Spatula for Stirring
- Air Fryer or Oven
- Parchment Paper
- Baking Tray
Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 cup rice flour or oatmeal
- 200 g dulce de leche
- 100 ml milk (for coating)
- 100 g flour or linaza (flaxseed) (for coating)
- q.s. sugar and cinnamon (for rolling)
Instructions
- Pour the milk, butter, and sugar into a pot and heat over medium flame until it boils. Remove from heat.
- Gradually add the rice flour (or oatmeal) to the pot while stirring continuously until it thickens into a smooth paste.
- Transfer the dough onto a clean surface and let it cool for 2 minutes.
- Take small portions of dough, flatten them, place a dollop of dulce de leche in the center, and seal the edges to form a ball or oval shape.
- Dip each shaped dough ball into milk, then roll in flour or flaxseed. Arrange on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in an air fryer or preheated oven at maximum temperature for 35 minutes until golden brown.
- Toss the baked churro-stuffed thighs in a mix of sugar and cinnamon.
Notes
Don't overfill with dulce de leche; a little goes a long way.
Use a piping bag for uniform shapes if you'd like.
Double-check your oven temperature to ensure crispiness.
For extra crispiness, freeze the shaped dough balls for 10 minutes before baking.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. To reheat, pop them in the oven at 350°F for 5 minutes.
For a vegan version, swap butter for coconut oil and use dairy-free dulce de leche.
