Description
Delightful cinnamon sugar-coated bites that are fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside, made conveniently in an air fryer.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (for coating)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Whisk them gently to blend.
- In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until just fluffy and smooth.
- Add the egg to the butter mixture and beat until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the water, stirring until a smooth dough forms.
- Lightly flour your hands and scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough. Roll them into small balls or logs.
- Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) to preheat.
- Lightly coat the basket with cooking spray and arrange the dough balls in a single layer. Air fry for about 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.
- While they cook, mix together sugar and cinnamon in a bowl to toss the churro bites in once they’re done.
- Once cooked, allow them to cool slightly, then toss in the cinnamon sugar mixture while still warm. Serve with chocolate sauce or ice cream.
Notes
Ensure ingredients are at room temperature for best results. Avoid overcrowding the air fryer, and coat the churro bites while they are still warm.
