- Method: Air Frying
- Cuisine: Mexican
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Water
- 1/4 cup Unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 Egg
- Cooking spray
- In a medium saucepan, combine the water, butter, and a pinch of salt. Bring this mixture to a boil over medium heat.
- Once boiling, remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the flour until the mixture forms a ball. This should take about a minute.
- Allow the dough to cool for about 5 minutes. After it has slightly cooled, add in the egg and mix until fully incorporated.
- Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe out small bite-sized pieces onto a parchment-lined tray.
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Lightly spray the churro bites with cooking spray and place them in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding.
- Air fry for about 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden and crispy. You may need to adjust cooking time based on your air fryer model.
- While the churro bites are air frying, mix granulated sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Once cooked, immediately toss the churro bites in the sugar-cinnamon mixture.

Keywords: Let the dough cool slightly before adding the egg to ensure you won’t scramble it. A piping bag with a star tip works best for shaping, but a zip-top bag can also be used. You can enhance the flavor by adding vanilla extract or orange zest.
