Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a pan add water, butter, salt and sugar. Bring it to boil over high heat.
  • Reduce the heat and add in the flour gradually, mix until the dough comes together. Switch off the flame.
  • Remove the dough from the pan into a large mixing bowl and allow it to cool down for 4-5 minutes.
  • Add in the egg and vanilla extract and mix everything together with an electric hand mixer.
  • Transfer the mixture into a piping bag. Pre-heat the air fryer to 375F degrees. Spray the basket with a neutral nonstick cooking spray.
  • Pipe bite-shaped churros on the air fryer carefully without overcrowding. Cook in several batches or drop them by the spoonful into the air fryer basket.
  • Brush some butter on top of the churros and cook for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
  • In a shallow bowl mix together sugar and cinnamon powder.
  • Once done, transfer churros into the sugar and cinnamon mixture. Toss to coat evenly.
  • If the mixture is not sticking, brush churro bites with melted butter or spray with water before rolling into the mixture.
  • Serve with chocolate syrup, honey or Nutella.

Notes

Using a piping bag is optional; you can drop the batter by the spoonful into the air fryer basket. Cook times may vary with different air fryer models. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
