Description

Delightful bite-sized churros made in an air fryer, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • Cooking spray

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the water, butter, and salt. Bring this mixture to a boil over medium heat.
  2. Stir in the flour until it forms a ball of dough. Remove it from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
  3. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  4. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  5. Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray.
  6. Using a piping bag or a spoon, portion bite-sized dollops of dough into the basket.
  7. Fry the churro bites for about 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
  8. In a separate bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon.
  9. Once cooked, toss the churro bites in the cinnamon-sugar mixture right before serving.

Notes

These churro bites pair well with chocolate sauce or vanilla ice cream. Store in an airtight container for up to a week or freeze for later.
