Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain flour
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
  • 1 large egg

Coating Ingredients

  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a medium saucepan, combine water, butter, salt, and 2 tablespoons sugar. Heat over medium heat until the butter melts and the mixture begins to boil.
  2. Add Flour: Remove from heat and quickly stir in the flour until the mixture forms a dough and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
  3. Cool and Mix Egg: Let the dough cool slightly, then beat in the vanilla essence and egg until the dough is smooth and well incorporated.
  4. Pipe Dough into Bites: Transfer the dough into a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe small bite-sized pieces onto parchment paper, cutting the dough with scissors to the desired size.
  5. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
  6. Air Fry Churro Bites: Arrange the piped dough bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Shake the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
  7. Prepare Cinnamon Sugar Coating: In a shallow dish, combine 1 cup white sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon powder.
  8. Coat the Bites: Immediately after air frying, roll the hot churro bites in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
  9. Serve Warm: Serve the churro bites warm for the best taste and texture. Enjoy with chocolate sauce or your favorite dip if desired.

Notes

  • Ensure dough cools enough before adding the egg to avoid scrambling it.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow even cooking and crispiness.
  • Use a piping bag with a star tip for a classic churro texture.
  • For crispier bites, extend air frying by 1-2 minutes but watch closely to prevent burning.
  • Serve immediately as they are best enjoyed fresh.
