Description
Delicious air-fried churro bites coated in cinnamon sugar, perfect for a sweet treat!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (or cake flour for fluffier bites)
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, cut in pieces
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
- 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- Cooking spray or a bit of neutral oil
Instructions
- Mix flour, 2 tbsp sugar, baking powder, and salt in a big bowl. No need to sift, unless you’re feeling fancy (I rarely am).
- In a small saucepan, warm the water and butter over medium heat till the butter’s melted.
- Pipe walnut-sized blobs onto a parchment-lined tray. Doesn’t need to be perfect — makes it more fun, honestly.
- Spritz the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Pop in the churro blobs, leaving space between them.
- Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 8–9 minutes. Peek at 7 minutes; you want golden brown with a bit of puff.
- Meanwhile, mix sugar and cinnamon in a dish that lets you roll stuff around.
- Once the churro bites are cooked, while they’re still warm, toss them in the cinnamon sugar.
- Repeat till you’ve air fried and coated every last one. Try not to eat them all before anyone else gets some.
Notes
- These churro bites are best enjoyed warm and fresh out of the air fryer.
- Make sure to leave space between the blobs when frying for even cooking.
