Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for coating)
- Cooking spray or oil for greasing
Instructions
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine water, butter, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and stir in the flour until a dough forms. Cook for 1-2 minutes until it pulls away from the sides.
- Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes. Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla. Stir until smooth and glossy.
- Transfer dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip.
- Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Pipe churros directly into the basket in 4-inch lengths.
- Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 10–12 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
- While still warm, roll churros in a cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Serve immediately with chocolate sauce or dulce de leche for dipping, if desired.
Notes
- Letting the dough cool before adding eggs prevents scrambling.
- Use a strong piping bag, as the dough is thick.
- Churros are best served fresh but can be reheated in the air fryer for a few minutes.
