Instructions
Making Fluffy Air Fryer Churro Bites is simple. Just follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare the Dough: In a medium saucepan, combine the water, 2 tablespoons of oil, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
2. Add Flour: Once boiling, remove from heat and stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt until a smooth dough forms.
3. Cool the Dough: Let the dough cool for approximately 5 minutes.
4. Shape the Churros: Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe small bite-sized pieces onto parchment paper, cutting them to your desired size.
5. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
6. Cook the Churro Bites: Place a single layer of churro bites in the fryer basket, ensuring they have space to expand. Cook for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.
7. Prepare the Coating: While the churros are cooking, mix the sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl.
8. Coat the Churro Bites: Once cooked, remove the churros from the air fryer and immediately roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
9. Serve Warm: These are best served warm with a side of chocolate or caramel sauce for dipping.
