SPANISH LECHE FRITA DESSERT RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, 1/3 cup of the flour, and the sugar.
• Add 1 cup of the milk and whisk to combine.
• Let stand at room temperature until slightly thickened, about 20 minutes.
• In a large saucepan, heat the remaining 3 cups of milk and the cinnamon stick over medium-low heat.
• When the milk begins to bubble, remove it from the heat. Remove and discard the cinnamon stick.
• Gradually pour the warm milk through a medium mesh strainer into the cornstarch-flour-sugar mixture, whisking the mixture constantly .
• Return the mixture to the saucepan over low heat. Whisk continuously until the mixture thickens to a pudding-like consistency, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Lightly oil a 9 x 9-inch baking pan with oil. Line the pan with parchment paper, leaving a few inches overhanging on opposite ends (the parchment handles will help you remove the mixture from the pan).
• Pour in the leche frita mixture to a depth of 3/4-inch.
• Let come to room temperature. Transfer to the refrigerator, covered, for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight.
• Use the parchment handles to lift the leche frita mixture out of the pan.
• Cut it into 16 equal size squares, about 2 1/4 inches each.
• Whisk the eggs together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
• To a large, non-stick skillet, add the butter and about 1/4-inch of oil. Heat over medium heat until the butter melts.
• Place the remaining 2/3 cup flour on a rimmed plate. Dredge each leche frita square with flour, shaking off any excess.
• Dip 4 to 5 pieces into the beaten eggs.
• Carefully transfer to the hot oil and fry until light golden, about 1 minute per side.
• Transfer to a paper-towel lined plate. Repeat with the remaining pieces.
• Sprinkle with cinnamon as the the leche frita become done. Serve warm or at room temperature.

CHURROS

Steps:

• In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine water, 2 1/2 tablespoons sugar, salt and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Bring to a boil and remove from heat. Stir in flour until mixture forms a ball.
• Heat oil for frying in a deep fryer or deep pot to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Pipe 5- to 6-inch strips of dough into the hot oil using a sturdy pastry bag fitted with a medium star tip. Do not overcrowd the oil. Fry until golden; drain on paper towels.
• Combine 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon. Roll drained churros in cinnamon and sugar mixture.

THERA'S CANADIAN FRIED DOUGH

Steps:

• Mix warm water, yeast, and 1 pinch of sugar in a large bowl, and let stand until the yeast begins to foam and form a creamy layer, about 5 minutes. Stir in milk, 1/3 cup sugar, salt, vanilla extract, eggs, and 1/3 cup vegetable oil until the sugar has dissolved. Mix in about half the whole-wheat flour, and stir until the dough is too stiff to add more flour. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, and knead in more flour until the dough is no longer sticky. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Form the dough into a ball, place into an oiled bowl, and cover. Let rise until the dough has doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• Punch down the dough, knead a few times to reshape it, and pinch off a piece of dough about the size of an egg. Roll the dough ball out into an oval shape about 1/4 inch thick. Place finished fried dough on a cloth and cover while you finish rolling out the pastries.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large, deep skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Oil should be at least 4 inches deep. Combine 2 cups of sugar with cinnamon to taste in a shallow dish or pie plate, and set aside.
• Gently lower the pastries, one at a time, into the hot oil, and fry 1 to 2 minutes per side until golden brown. Blot excess oil from fried pastries with paper towels; gently press each pastry into the cinnamon sugar while still warm. Shake off excess sugar.
