Instructions

• In a pan add water, butter, salt and sugar. Bring it to boil over high heat.
• Reduce the heat and add in the flour gradually, mix until the dough comes together. Switch off the flame.
• Remove the dough from the pan into a large mixing bowl and allow it to cool down for 4-5 minutes.
• Add in the egg and vanilla extract and mix everything together with an electric hand mixer.
• Transfer the mixture into a piping bag. Pre-heat the air fryer to 375F degrees. Spray the basket with a neutral nonstick cooking spray.
• Pipe bite-shaped churros on the air fryer carefully without overcrowding. You'll have to cook in several batches.
• Brush some butter on top of the churros and cook for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
• In a shallow bowl mix together sugar and cinnamon powder.
• Once the churros are done, transfer them into the sugar and cinnamon mixture. Toss and let it coat evenly.
• If the cinnamon sugar mixture is not sticking well, just brush the churro bites with some melted butter and then roll into the cinnamon sugar mixture.
• Serve with chocolate syrup, honey or Nutella.
