Description

These sweet air fryer churro bites are a delightful treat that combines crispy on the outside and soft on the inside texture. Coated in cinnamon sugar, these bite-sized churros are perfect for snacking or dessert!


Ingredients

Units Scale

For the dough:

  • 1 cup plain flour
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/3 cup and 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
  • 1 large egg

For the coating:

  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough: In a saucepan, combine water, butter, salt, sugar, and vanilla essence. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat. Stir in flour until the mixture forms a ball. Let cool slightly, then mix in the egg.
  2. Air fry the churro bites: Transfer the dough into a piping bag with a star tip. Pipe bite-sized pieces onto the air fryer basket. Air fry at 350°F for 8-10 minutes, until golden brown.
  3. Coat with cinnamon sugar: In a bowl, mix white sugar and cinnamon powder. Toss the cooked churro bites in the mixture until coated evenly.

Notes

  • Make sure to pipe the dough quickly to prevent it from cooling and becoming difficult to work with.
  • You can customize the coating by adding a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom for extra flavor.
