Instructions
- First, let’s make the filling. In a sauce pan, over medium, add roughly sliced peaches, brown sugar, lemon juice, and pinch of salt. Stir and bring to a boil. Boil for 3 minutes and reduce heat and simmer for ten minutes. Remove from heat when compote begins to thicken and become syrup-like. Allow to cool completely. Add peach compote to a food processor and puree.
- In a stand mixer (or a bowl), add heavy cream and sugar and beat heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Fold whipped cream into peach puree and cool in the refrigerator until churros are finished.
- Gently whisk together milk, water, butter, and sugar to a sauce pan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and ad vanilla extract and fold in flour with a wooden spatula. Set aside and allow to cool until for about 15 minutes.
- Begin heating oil to 340-360 degrees.
- Once dough has cooled, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat in 2 eggs, one at a time. Dough will initially break apart but will come together and form a paste-like texture.
- Add 1 cup of sugar and 3 tbsps cinnamon to a shallow bowl. The cinnamon sugar will be used to dust the churros when they are finished frying.
- Add dough to a piping bag with a jumbo star tip. Pipe about 6 inches of the dough into the oil and cut with scissors or a knife. Fry for 3-3.5 minutes, until churros are a caramel color.
- Add churros to a drying rack and cool for about 1 minute, then add churros to cinnamon sugar and dust.
- Remove peaches and cream mixture from refrigerator and add to a piping bag with the piping tip. Insert tip into churro and squeeze mixture in. Repeat on the opposite end.
- Eat!
