Air Fryer Churros
Air Fryer Churros are made with a simple dough recipe, cooked to perfection in the air fryer, and then rolled in cinnamon sugar.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter cubed
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
Cinnamon Sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- In a medium pot, combine water, butter, sugar, and salt at medium-high heat. Bring this to a boil.
- Drop heat to low and add in the flour. Use a spatula to stir flour and form a ball that pulls away from the sides of the pot.
- Transfer dough into a stand mixer bowl or use a hand mixer. Add cinnamon and vanilla extract.
- Place the mixer on medium speed and allow it to mix for 5 minutes.
- Add egg and continue mixing until it is completely combined. It will be slightly sticky.
- Place ½ of the dough in a piping bag with a star 1M tip. Place a silicone mat or parchment paper down.
- Pipe churros 5 inches long. Use scissors to cut the end off.
- Fill the bag again and continue piping until the dough has been used.
- Place churros in the freezer for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the air fryer to 360 degrees F. Place the churros in a single layer and cook for 10 minutes.
- Combine sugar and cinnamon to make cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Remove churros from the air fryer basket and quickly roll in the cinnamon sugar.
- Serve with Nutella, caramel, or by themselves.
Notes
- These are best eaten warm.
