Method
- Gather all your ingredients and equipment before you start. The churro dough comes together quickly.
- Add water, salt, 1 tbsp sugar, and 1 tbsp neutral oil to a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat and stir to dissolve the sugar and salt.
- Remove from heat and stir in the All Purpose Flour. Keep stirring until the flour is fully incorporated and forms a smooth ball. Let it cool for 10 minutes.
- Fit a thick piping bag with a closed star piping tip (like a 2D tip). Place the churro dough into the piping bag and twist the end to secure. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Pipe 2-inch churro bites onto the parchment paper. Use scissors to trim the dough.
- Set your air fryer to 360F and preheat for 2 minutes.
- Add half of the churro bites to the air fryer basket and spray with cooking oil. Ensure there is space between the bites for air circulation.
- Fry for 10 minutes. Turn the bites over at the 5-minute mark to ensure even cooking. After turning, continue to fry for another 5 minutes until golden and crispy outside, and slightly soft inside.
- While the first batch is cooking, prepare the cinnamon sugar. In a bowl, mix together the white sugar and ground cinnamon. Stir well.
- Once the first batch of churro bites is ready, immediately toss them in the cinnamon sugar mixture. Set aside.
- Add the remaining churro bites to the air fryer and repeat the frying process.
- Serve warm with your favorite caramel sauce.
Notes
These churro bites are best served warm. You can make a simple caramel sauce by combining sweetened condensed milk, butter, and brown sugar over low heat until smooth.
