Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup water
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- In a medium saucepan, combine water, 2 tbsp sugar, salt, and vegetable oil. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Once boiling, remove from heat and stir in all the flour until mixture forms a ball.
- Allow mixture to cool slightly, then transfer to a mixing bowl. Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
- Using a piping bag fitted with a star tip, pipe small bite-sized dough pieces onto a parchment-lined surface.
- Lightly spray churro bites with cooking spray, place in the air fryer basket in a single layer, and cook for 8-10 minutes or until golden and crispy. Cook in batches if necessary.
- While still warm, toss the churro bites in a mixture of 1/2 cup sugar and 1 tbsp cinnamon until evenly coated.
- Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce like chocolate or caramel.
Notes
For extra indulgence, serve with dulce de leche or chocolate sauce for dipping. You can also experiment with sprinkling powdered sugar instead of cinnamon sugar.
