Ingredients for Homemade Churros

To make the best homemade churros, I start with a few key ingredients. I mix 1 cup of water with 1/3 cup of unsalted butter, cut into cubes. Then, I add 2 tablespoons of sugar and a pinch of salt. This mix heats up to make a tasty dough.

Next, I use 1 cup of all-purpose flour. This flour makes the churros firm. I also add 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. These add sweetness and a nice smell to the dough.

For the cinnamon-sugar coating, I mix 1/2 cup of sugar with 3/4 teaspoon of cinnamon. This coating makes the churros even more delicious. It adds a special flavor to the crispy churros.

How to Make Air Fryer Churros: Step-by-Step Instructions

Making churros in an air fryer is super fun. First, mix water, butter, sugar, and salt in a saucepan. It’s important to boil this mix to get the dough right.

After boiling, add flour slowly while stirring. This makes the dough stick together. Then, let it cool a bit. Next, add eggs to make the dough chewy.

Now, it’s time to shape the churros. Put the dough in a piping bag with a star tip. Pipe long strips on a parchment-lined surface.

Heat the air fryer to 375°F. Cook the churros for 10-12 minutes, flipping them halfway. They should be golden and crispy. Roll them in cinnamon and sugar for extra flavor.

Serving churros fresh from the air fryer is the best way to enjoy them. They taste amazing and feel soft inside. Try them warm for the best experience.

Pairing them with yummy dipping sauces is a great idea. Nutella, dulce de leche, and chocolate sauce are perfect. They make the churros even sweeter.

Make your churros look good by dusting them with cinnamon sugar. Adding fresh fruit like strawberries or bananas is also a good idea. It makes the churros look and taste even better.

• Serve warm for the best texture.

Storage Tips for Churros

Keeping churros fresh is important. After enjoying them, I put leftovers in an airtight container. Then, I store them in the fridge for up to two days.

To make them crispy again, I use the air fryer. Just 2-3 minutes, and they’re as good as new.

Freezing the dough is a great idea. It’s easy to make fresh churros whenever I want. Just cook them from frozen in the air fryer. This way, I can enjoy them again and again!
