How to Make Churros in an Air Fryer
Churros are one of those treats that are always a hit with kids as they are just so fun & unique & really remind me of a trip to an amusement park, the fair or Disneyland. Since most of those places are closed this summer, making churros at home with your kids would be a great way to bring some of that summer fun right to your home. With an air fryer, churros are even easier than you think!
Air fryers are such versatile kitchen equipment and a fun appliance to have on hand for making specialty items like churros. You can check out more recipes you can make with air fryers at the bottom of our post & check out Sia’s review of her air fryer and why she loves using an air fryer, too.
These homemade churros are a great, frugal treat, too, as you just need a few ingredients you will already have in your pantry to make these! And they are so tasty – yum! One of my favorite treats – perfect for a fun DIY recipe at home!
The main tools you need are an air fryer and a star tip for piping & piping bags (or just use a ziploc bag & cut the end off)
How to Make Churros in an Air Fryer:
Ingredients:
1 cup of white flour
1 cup of water
¼ tsp salt
3 tbsp sugar
2.5 tbsp oil
1 cup of sugar
1 tbsp cinnamon
Directions:
In a non stick saucepan, bring the water, salt, sugar and oil to a simmer over medium heat.
Remove from heat and gently stir in the flour until it forms a soft ball of dough.
Preheat your air fryer
Using a star tip, pipe the dough onto a cutting board or parchment paper. Use a knife to cut the dough if needed. You can make these any size length you like – from 4″ up to 10″ for example.
Put the churros in the Air Fryer and air fry for 7 minutes , stopping the machine in the middle to shake it.
Mix the sugar and cinnamon together and immediately coat the churros once they are done in the air fryer.
