1 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract

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.

AIR FRYER CHURROS



Air Fryer Churros image

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.

Tips for Making Perfect Air Fryer Churros:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh flour, cold butter, and full-fat milk will yield the best results.
  • Chill the dough: This will help the churros hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the air fryer.
  • Pipe the churros: Use a star-shaped piping tip to create the traditional churro shape.
  • Spray the churros with oil: This will help them brown evenly and prevent them from sticking to the air fryer basket.
  • Cook the churros in a single layer: This will ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Flip the churros halfway through cooking: This will help them brown on all sides.
  • Serve the churros immediately: They are best when served warm and fresh.

Conclusion:

Making churros in an air fryer is a quick and easy way to enjoy this delicious treat. By following these tips, you can make perfect churros that are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
