Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • Vegetable oil spray
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for coating)

Instructions

  1. Combine water, butter, 1 tablespoon sugar, and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
  2. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Add all the flour at once and stir vigorously until a smooth dough ball forms.
  3. Let the dough cool for about five minutes.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until the dough is smooth and glossy.
  5. Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.
  6. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  7. Pipe 4 to 5-inch long strips of dough directly into the air fryer basket, leaving space between them. You may need to work in batches.
  8. Lightly spray the churros with vegetable oil spray.
  9. Air fry for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crisp.
  10. While the churros cook, mix the 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon in a shallow dish.
  11. Remove the hot churros from the air fryer and immediately toss them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.
  12. Serve warm.

Notes

  • You can easily double this recipe if you are serving a crowd.
  • For dipping, serve with melted chocolate or dulce de leche.
  • Make sure your star tip is large enough to create defined ridges on the churros.
