To achieve the perfect churro flavor, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon and sugar over the bread slices before dipping them in the egg mixture.

Notes

For a truly authentic experience, try making homemade dulce de leche. Simmer sweetened condensed milk in a can submerged in a pot of water for 2-3 hours until it reaches a caramel consistency. Allow to cool before opening.

Cultural or Historical Background

Argentinian cuisine is heavily influenced by Spanish and Italian cooking traditions. This recipe incorporates elements of both cultures with the fusion of churro-spiced french toast, dulce de leche, and mango salsa.
