Ingredients

Scale
  • 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

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the water, butter, and a pinch of salt. Bring this mixture to a boil over medium heat.
  2. 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.
  3. Allow the dough to cool for about 5 minutes. After it has slightly cooled, add in the egg and mix until fully incorporated.
  4. Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe out small bite-sized pieces onto a parchment-lined tray.
  5. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
  6. Lightly spray the churro bites with cooking spray and place them in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
