Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • ¼ cup unsalted butter
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 pinch salt
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup white sugar
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

  1. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in milk and salt. Reduce the heat to medium and bring to a boil, continuously stirring with a wooden spoon. Quickly add flour all at once and keep stirring until the dough comes together.

  2. Remove from the heat and let cool for 5 to 7 minutes. Mix in eggs with the wooden spoon until incorporated. Spoon dough into a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe dough directly into the air fryer basket, making six equal strips.

  3. Air fry churros at 340 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 5 minutes.

  4. Meanwhile, mix sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl until well combined. Pour onto a shallow plate.

  5. Remove churros from the air fryer and roll in the cinnamon sugar to coat.
