Directions
-
In a saucepan, combine the water and butter; bring to a boil. This step is crucial since it helps create the foundation of your dough.
-
Stir in the flour and salt until a smooth dough forms. Make sure it pulls away from the sides of the saucepan – this indicates that it is ready.
-
Remove from heat; add vanilla and the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. The dough will become shiny and smooth, showcasing its tremendous elasticity.
-
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and spray the basket generously with cooking spray. This ensures that your churro bites won’t stick and achieve that desired crispiness.
-
Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. The star shape will make those signature churro ridges that hold onto the cinnamon-sugar coating beautifully.
-
Pipe bite-sized portions into the air fryer basket. Make sure to leave space between each churro bite, as they will puff up a bit during cooking.
-
Cook for about 8-10 minutes until they are golden brown. Keep an eye on them as air fryers can vary and you want them to achieve a crisp, beautiful golden hue.
-
In a bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon. This mixture is what will give your churro bites that tremendous sweetness and aromatic flavor.
-
Toss the churro bites in the cinnamon-sugar mixture before serving. Ensure even coating for a mouthful of flavor with each bite.
