Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/3 cup (80 ml) milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) sugar for coating
  • Cooking spray or a little extra melted butter

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup (120 g) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons sugar until evenly combined.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, 1/3 cup (80 ml) milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  3. Form the Dough: Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring with a spatula until a soft dough forms. Add milk by teaspoon if too dry.
  4. Shape the Bites: Pinch off small pieces of dough about 1 tablespoon each and roll into bite-sized balls.
  5. Preheat Your Air Fryer: Set to 375°F (190°C) and heat for about 3 minutes.
  6. Cook the Bites: Lightly spray or brush the air fryer basket with melted butter. Place dough balls in a single layer and air fry for 8-10 minutes, shaking halfway through, until golden and crispy.
  7. Toss in Cinnamon Sugar: Combine 1/2 cup sugar with 1 tablespoon cinnamon. Immediately toss hot churro bites in the mixture to coat evenly.
  8. Serve Warm: Enjoy fresh and warm with sugar clinging to the crispy surface.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure crispiness. Shake basket halfway through cooking. Use melted butter to help sugar stick better. Reheat in air fryer to restore crispiness. For dairy-free, substitute milk with almond or oat milk and butter with coconut oil. Gluten-free option available by swapping flour with gluten-free blend.
