Sweet Air Fryer Churro Bites (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Dough
01 -
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
02 -
1 large egg
03 -
125 g plain flour
04 -
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
05 -
1 teaspoon salt
06 -
90 g unsalted butter
07 -
240 ml water
→ Coating
08 -
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
09 -
200 g granulated white sugar
# Instructions:
01 -
After finishing, dish out the tasty churro bites while they’re still warm. Dunk them in chocolate sauce, honey, or a dab of hazelnut spread if you’re feeling fancy.
02 -
Mix cinnamon and white sugar in a shallow bowl. Drop the hot churros right into the mixture once they’re done cooking. Gently flip them around so every side is covered. A little extra melted butter brushed on or a quick mist of water helps the sugar stick if needed.
03 -
Pipe small blobs of dough straight into your air fryer’s basket—give them some space or spoon them if you want to. Smear some melted butter on the tops. Cook at 190°C for 10–12 minutes until nice and golden. Fry in groups so you don’t crowd them.
04 -
Spoon the dough into a piping bag with a star tip. Get your air fryer heated up to 190°C. Spray a thin layer of neutral oil on the basket so nothing sticks.
05 -
Move the warm dough into a bowl and let it chill off—just a few minutes. Then crack in the egg and pour in the vanilla. Grab your electric mixer and blend everything until it’s smooth.
06 -
When your pan’s hot, dump in the flour bit by bit and stir the whole time. When the dough clumps up and looks like a big lump, take it off the heat.
07 -
Chuck water, butter, salt, and sugar into a saucepan. Crank up the heat and let it boil.
# Notes:
01 -
Letting the dough cool off a bit before tossing in the egg keeps it from scrambling.
02 -
Don’t jam too many in the air fryer basket—crowding them stops them turning out crisp and even.
