What You Need?
For the churro bites:
• 1 cup water
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 tbsp granulated sugar
• ¼ tsp salt
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 large egg
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• Cooking spray or oil mist (for the Air
Fryer basket)
For that cinnamon sugar coating:
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 2 tbsp melted butter (for brushing)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Make the Dough
Combine water, butter, sugar, and salt in a
medium saucepan.
Bring to a gentle boil, then remove from
heat. Stir in flour until a dough forms and pulls away from the sides. Cool for
a few minutes.
2. Add Eggs & Vanilla
Transfer the dough to a mixing bowl. Whisk
in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth and glossy. (Use some elbow grease
or a hand mixer to help combine.)
3. Shape the Bites
Pipe about 1 to 1.5 inches onto a lined
tray and cut the ends with scissors for uniform shapes. To do that, spoon the
dough into a piping bag fitted with a star tip.
4. Air Fry
Preheat air fryer to 190C (375F).
Lightly spray the basket with cooking oil.
Place churro bites in a single layer with
space between each.
Air fry for 8 to 10 minutes at 375 F,
turning halfway through, until golden brown and crisp.
5. Coat with Cinnamon Sugar
Brush or dip in melted butter while still
warm, roll in the cinnamon-sugar mass. Serve right away for that warm and
crunchy magic!
