Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup plain flour
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/3 cup and 1 tablespoon cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup white sugar for coating
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon powder for coating

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, salt, and sugar. Add the melted butter, water, vanilla essence, and egg. Mix until a smooth dough forms.
  2. Cover the dough and let it rest for 5 minutes. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  3. Pipe the dough through a star tip into 4-inch strips. Cut into bite-sized pieces.
  4. Cook the churro bites in the air fryer for 8-10 minutes, shaking halfway. Cook until golden brown.
  5. While still warm, toss the churro bites in a mixture of white sugar and cinnamon powder. Serve immediately.

Notes

For an extra crispy coating, you can lightly spray the churro bites with cooking spray before cooking in the air fryer.
