📝 Preparation Steps
1
Place water, 2 tablespoons softened butter, 2 tablespoons sugar, vanilla, and salt in a medium saucepan. Heat over medium heat until butter is melted and stir occasionally until mixture boils.
2
Turn off the heat and remove pan from the stove. Stir in the flour with a wooden spoon. A thick paste will form. Make sure to do this off the heat and off the stove, so that the mixture can cool as you stir it.
3
Transfer the dough to the bowl of a stand mixer and let sit ⏱️ 1 minute to cool. Attach the paddle attachment and add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition (work fast to avoid cooking the eggs). You can also use a large bowl with a hand mixer but work fast.
(474ml) water2 cups(28g) unsalted butter, softened2 tablespoons(25g) granulated sugar2 tablespoons(248g) all-purpose flour2 cupslarge eggs2
4
Place the churro batter in a large pastry bag fitted with a star or 1M tip.
5
Pipe churros in desired size and shapes straight onto the air fryer basket. (This recipe makes approximately 60 3-inch long churros or 25 7-inch long churros.) If the dough sticks to the tip you can use a knife or kitchen scissors to cut the dough at the piping tip.
6
Spray the churros with nonstick cooking spray. This will help them brown.
7
Air fry them at 375°F until golden-brown, depending on size this will take about ⏱️ 10 minutes depending on your air fryer. Watch the first batch to make sure they don't burn and so you'll know how long they take to cook.
8
Stir together sugar and cinnamon while the churros are frying. Toss hot churros in the cinnamon sugar to coat. Serve right after frying for best taste.
