Ingredients
Batter:
Oil, for frying
1 cup milk
1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1/2 pound all-purpose flour
7 large eggs
Cinnamon Sugar:
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Goat Milk Caramel, recipe follows
Goat Milk Caramel:
2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup goat milk
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Special equipment:
a deep-fryer; a candy thermometer; a piping bag fitted with a large star tip- For the batter: Preheat oil in a deep-fryer to 350 degrees F and line a sheet tray with paper towels.
- Warm milk, butter, salt, granulated sugar and 1 cup water in a pot until it comes to 180 degrees F. Whisk in the flour and stir with a wooden spoon until the bottom of the pan begins to brown.
- Transfer the mixture to a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix the dough for 2 minutes on low speed to cool it down, then slowly add the eggs one by one. Beat until the batter sticks to the sides of the bowl.
- Transfer the batter to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe long pieces of batter into the fryer and cut off the ends with scissors. Fry until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Transfer to the lined sheet tray to drain slightly.
- For the cinnamon sugar: Mix granulated sugar, cinnamon, coriander and salt together in a bowl. Toss churros in the cinnamon sugar. Serve with Goat Milk Caramel.
Goat Milk Caramel:
- Combine sugars, salt and 1 cup water in a medium pot and cook the mixture over medium heat until it has a golden-brown caramel color and reaches to 300 degrees F.
- Meanwhile, stir together goat milk, cream, cinnamon, coriander and vanilla in a separate bowl. Slowly pour the milk mixture into the hot sugar mixture. (Be careful; it will bubble and steam vigorously.) Slowly stir to incorporate it.
- Turn the heat to medium-low and cook, 6 more minutes. Serve warm or cool down for a thicker consistency.
