One of my favorite things to eat at an amusement park are churros. You won’t believe how easy it is to make Air Fryer Churros. Let’s do it!
Did I mention how much I love churros? I’ve always been a bit hesitant to make them in a regular fryer because I burned the heck out of myself once using my FryDaddy. After that, I’ve stuck to frying things in my Air Fryer only.
What do you need to make Air Fryer Churros?
You will need some basic ingredients that you most likely already have on hand. Yay! Aren’t those the best recipes? Here’s what you need:
- flour
- butter
- water
- sugar
- cinnamon
- eggs
- salt
In a medium size pot, add your water, salt, and butter. Bring heat to medium and keep stirring with a wooden spoon, until all the butter is melted. Once melted reduce heat to low.
Add your flour and keep stirring, to keep the dough smooth, for about 3-5 minutes.
Add in your eggs one at the time, and make sure to immediately mix them in well. Remove from heat when the dough is smooth and thickened.
Put your piping bag in a glass, with the tip folded up, and add your dough to the piping bag. I used a larger churros tip.
Depending on the size of your air fryer, you might have to work in batches. Use a cooking spray to avoid sticking. Pipe and cut about 8 pieces of churros into your air fryer tray, make sure they have enough space in between. You can make them as long as you wish. I made mine about 1-2 inches long.
Cook the churros for 6-8 minutes (depending on the thickness of your churros) on 370 degrees Fahrenheit. And repeat until you’re out of dough.
While your churros are cooking, mix your cinnamon and sugar into a bowl (large enough for your churros)
Dip and roll each churro into the cinnamon sugar. If you like a thicker layer of cinnamon sugar, melt some additional butter and brush it onto the churros first, and then dip into the cinnamon sugar.
Serve warm with caramel or chocolate sauce, if you like.
Enjoy!
