AIR FRYER CHURROS

Who doesn't love churros? They're a delicious cinnamon-sugar treat, and making them in an air fryer takes them from a guilty treat into a sweet treat. After over 7 experiments, I do NOT recommend using a parchment paper liner. I do NOT recommend adding the cinnamon sugar to the dough.

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup water
1/3 cup unsalted butter (cut into cubes)
2 Tbsp granulated sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
oil spray
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3/4 tsp ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • 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.

Tips:

  • To make churros with a crispy exterior and a soft and fluffy interior, use a combination of all-purpose flour and bread flour.
  • Use cold water to make the choux pastry, as this will help to create a more elastic dough.
  • Don't overwork the dough, as this will make it tough.
  • Pipe the churros into hot oil using a star-shaped piping tip to create the classic churro shape.
  • Fry the churros until they are golden brown and crispy, turning them occasionally to ensure they cook evenly.
  • Drain the churros on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  • Serve the churros warm, sprinkled with a mixture of cinnamon sugar or your favorite toppings.

Conclusion:

Air fryer churros are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, dessert, or as a snack. They are crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and can be customized with a variety of toppings. With just a few simple ingredients and an air fryer, you can enjoy this classic Spanish pastry in the comfort of your own home.
