PrintPhoto of the Day: Chilean Churros
From April 13 to 19, I traveled around Chile with two other American food journalists on a culinary media trip. Here's another snapshot from that week. —Robyn Lee
Having only been exposed to the skinny, sugar-coated, star-shaped variety of churros, I was surprised when I came across the completely different looking Chilean version at a bakery in Temuco. A churro in Chile is like an elongated hot dog bun-shaped doughnut sandwich filled with a layer of golden dulce de leche. The dough of this churro was a bit on the heavy side, but I can't say no to sweet bread slathered in sweet, creamy goodness. Not until I get diabetes, at least.

sounds incredible! is there some hint of salt in the dough or dulce de leche to balance out the sugar?

@onedaylingers: I don't recall salt (although I'd suppose there was salt in it?)...or much flavor overall besides a hint of sweetness to go with the SUGARY GOOEY INNARDS. If I could find a recipe I'd tell you more. :[

Robyn, I recently experienced a Portuguese donut in Hawaii and it totally reminded me of the mexican churro I know so well having grown up in San Diego. I wrote a silly review on yelp about it http://www.yelp.com/biz/leonards-malasadamobile-laie# but I'm also now very interested in the variations of frying dough...gotta love it!
