Air fryer churros are a delicious cinnamon sugar treat. By using an air fryer instead of a deep fryer, it turns what's normally a guilty treat into a sweet treat. After over seven experiments creating this recipe, I have two pieces of advice: do NOT line the air fryer basket with parchment paper liner, and do NOT add the cinnamon sugar to the dough.

Ingredients

  • 0.25 cups unsalted butter
  • 0.5 cups milk
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 0.25 cups white sugar
  • 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. 1

    Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in milk and salt. Reduce the heat to medium and bring to a boil, continuously stirring with a wooden spoon. Quickly add flour all at once and keep stirring until the dough comes together.

  2. 2

    Remove from the heat and let cool for 5 to 7 minutes. Mix in eggs with the wooden spoon until incorporated. Spoon dough into a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe dough directly into the air fryer basket, making six equal strips.

  3. 3

    Air fry churros at 340 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Meanwhile, mix sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl until well combined. Pour onto a shallow plate.

  5. 5

    Remove churros from the air fryer and roll in the cinnamon sugar to coat.
