Hi everyone, my wife and I have just started a new business selling churros at the market. We are now trying to optimize our time a little to improve our hourly rate. What we are looking for is a way to make the dough and the most time consuming sauce. Churro dough is mixed with boiling water and needs to be stirred and scraped on low heat for a few minutes. It gets very hard to stir very quickly, and we sell about 5 to 10 kg already which takes several batches. We thought a regular dough mixer would be ideal if it could be used over a heat source or if there was a mixer that heated it would be perfect. Doce de Leite, or Dulce de Leche or caramelized milk takes literally hours of stirring milk just below boiling point. Usually doesnt need scraping. We think the thermomix might be perfect, but so pricey. Most pot mounted soup mixers otoh tend to be battery operated and wouldnt last three hours. Doce does not require a powerful mixer at the thickness we need. Any suggestions are welcome. We have a reasonable budget and will consider commercial equipment, but prefer to get the minimum for now as we are still growing our customer base.
