Air Fryer Churros

water

unsalted butter

Tbsp sugar

tsp salt

all-purpose flour

eggs

tsp vanilla extract

oil spray

sugar

cinnamon

Put a silicone baking mat on a baking sheet and spray with oil spray.

In a medium saucepan add water, butter, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Reduce heat to medium-low and add flour to the saucepan. Stirring constantly with a rubber spatula cook until the dough comes together and is smooth.

Remove from heat and transfer the dough to a mixing bowl. Let cool for 4 minutes.

Add eggs and vanilla extract to the mixing bowl and mix using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer until dough comes together. The mixture will look like gluey mashed potatoes. Use your hands to press lumps together into a ball and transfer to a large piping bag fitted with a large star-shaped tip.

Pipe churros onto the greased baking mat, into 4-inch lengths and cut end with scissors.

Refrigerate piped churros on the baking sheet for 1 hour.

Carefully transfer churros with a cookie spatula to the Air Fryer basket, leaving about 1/2-inch space between churros. Spray churros with oil spray. Depending on the size of your Air Fryer you have to fry them in batches.

Air fry at 375 degrees F for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.

In a shallow bowl combine granulated sugar and cinnamon.

Immediately transfer baked churros to the bowl with the sugar mixture and toss to coat. Working in batches. Serve warm with Nutella or chocolate dipping sauce.

Air Fryer Churros are golden tasty pastry treats, where every bite has a tender inside with a crispy outside that’s tossed in cinnamon and sugar.

Easy Air Fryer Churros

(250 milliliters) water

salt

(113 grams) butter

(120 grams) all purpose flour

Sifted powdered sugar and cinnamon or cinnamon sugar

Mix the first 4 ingredients in a pan, bring to a boil, stirring constantly.

Add flour and continue to mix thoroughly. Remove from heat and continue to mix until smooth and the dough comes away from the side of the pan.

Add eggs one at a time, mix until smooth. Set aside to cool.

Preheat Air Fryer to 400F/200C.

Fill a cake decorator bag with dough and add a ½-inch star tip.

Create sticks that are 3-4 inches in length by pushing the dough out of the bag onto a parchment paper. You can then transfer straight to the air fryer if you’re ready for them. If the dough is difficult to handle, place in the fridge for 30 minutes to firm up.

Spray air fryer basket or tray with coconut oil or cooking spray.

Add about 8-10 churros in air fryer basket or tray. Spritz with oil.

Cook on 400F/200C (french fry setting) for 5 minutes.

Once done and while still warm, roll in cinnamon sugar mixture, cinnamon or regular sugar.

These Air Fryer Churros are rolled in cinnamon sugar while they&#039;re still warm and served with chocolate ganache.

butter (sliced)

brown sugar (packed)

vanilla extract

eggs (room temperature)

milk chocolate chips

heavy cream

Add the water, butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and salt to a medium saucepan. Place over medium heat and let the butter melt and the sugar dissolve.  Once the mixture comes up to a boil, remove it from the heat.

Add the vanilla extract and flour to the saucepan and stir with a wooden spoon until a ball forms. The dough shouldn't be sticky. If it does look soft and feels sticky, add an additional 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons of flour and stir until incorporated.

Make a well in the center of the dough and drop the first egg into it. Stir until incorporated. It will be pretty stiff and take some work to get the egg well combined.

Repeat creating a well in the center of the dough and adding the eggs one at a time. Mix until the egg is completely incorporated before adding the next. The dough should still be pretty stiff.

Add the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. I used the Wilton 4b tip.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly grease with nonstick baking spray.

Pipe about 4 1/2 inch lines of churros on the parchment paper. You may want to do shorter depending on the size of your air fryer.*

Place the churros in the freezer for about 45 minutes to an hour to firm up.

Line your air fryer basket with a piece of parchment paper that has holes in it. You can skip this step, but I like to do it to ensure my churros aren't going to stick.

Air fry at 360 degrees F for 11 minutes. The tops will be golden brown. *See notes

Churros

In a shallow dish, add in the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Stir to combine.

Transfer the warm baked churros to the cinnamon and sugar and roll until completely coated.

They're best served warm.

Coating

Add the milk chocolate chips and heavy cream to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals and stir after each interval until the ganache is smooth and creamy. This will take about 1 minute in total.

Serve warm or cooled with fresh air-fried churros.

Store any remaining ganache in the refrigerator covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container.

Ganache

Air Fryer Churros are made with a simple dough recipe, cooked to perfection in the air fryer, and then rolled in cinnamon sugar.

unsalted butter (cubed)

all purpose flour

In a medium pot, combine water, butter, sugar, and salt at medium-high heat. Bring this to a boil. 

Drop heat to low and add in the flour. Use a spatula to stir flour and form a ball that pulls away from the sides of the pot.

Transfer dough into a stand mixer bowl or use a hand mixer. Add cinnamon and vanilla extract.

Place the mixer on medium speed and allow it to mix for 5 minutes.

Add egg and continue mixing until it is completely combined. It will be slightly sticky. 

Place ½ of the dough in a piping bag with a star 1M tip. Place a silicone mat or parchment paper down. 

Pipe churros 5 inches long. Use scissors to cut the end off. 

Fill the bag again and continue piping until the dough has been used.

Place churros in the freezer for 30 minutes. 

Preheat the air fryer to 360 degrees F. Place the churros in a single layer and cook for 10 minutes. 

Combine sugar and cinnamon to make cinnamon sugar mixture. 

Remove churros from the air fryer basket and quickly roll in the cinnamon sugar.

Serve with Nutella, caramel, or by themselves.

Made your churros - sorry to say - in my Cosori they turned out too dry - any tips?
