Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup water

  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, combine water, butter, 1 tablespoon sugar, and salt. Heat over medium heat until butter is melted and mixture is boiling.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in flour until a ball forms.

  6. Lightly grease the air fryer basket.
  7. Spoon or pipe the dough into churro shapes in the air fryer basket, ensuring they don’t touch. You may need to cook in batches.
  8. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  9. While the churros are cooking, mix together 1/2 cup granulated sugar and cinnamon in a shallow dish.
  10. Once cooked, immediately toss the hot churro bites in the cinnamon sugar mixture.

Notes

  • For best results, use a piping bag with a star tip to shape the churros.
  • If you don’t have a piping bag, you can drop spoonfuls of dough into the air fryer.
  • Adjust cooking time based on your air fryer model.
  • These are best enjoyed immediately after making.
