Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup dulce de leche or chocolate filling
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for dusting)
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for dusting)

How to Make Churro-filled Pastry Rolls

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1/4 cup sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture, and beat until well combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and salt.
5. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
6. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and roll it out to about 1/4 inch thick.
7. Cut the dough into rectangles, approximately 3×5 inches. Place a tablespoon of dulce de leche or chocolate filling in the center of each rectangle.
8. Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges to seal. Place the rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown.
10. While the rolls are baking, mix together 1/4 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a shallow bowl.
11. Once baked, immediately roll the warm churro-filled pastry rolls in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat.
12. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure your butter is softened to room temperature for better incorporation.
• Don’t overfill the pastry rolls; too much filling can cause them to burst during baking.
• For extra crispiness, you can brush the pastry with melted butter before rolling in the sugar.

Easy Variations

• Swap out the dulce de leche for a fruit jam or Nutella for different flavor profiles.
• Add chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the filling for added texture.
• Drizzle with caramel or chocolate sauce before serving for an extra indulgent treat.

What to Serve With It

• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delicious a la mode experience.
• Fresh fruit, such as strawberries or bananas, to balance the sweetness.
• A cup of hot chocolate or coffee for the perfect pairing.
