/
3
cup (150 ml) water
5
tablespoons (75 ml) unsalted butter, cold, divided
½
teaspoon (2.5 ml) vanilla extract
¼
cup (60 ml) sugar, plus 1 tablespoon (15 ml)
Pinch of kosher salt
½
cup (125 ml) all-purpose flour
1
large egg, at room temperature
Powdered sugar for dusting, optional
1
tablespoon (15 ml) cinnamon
Nonstick cooking spray
1. Place the AirFryer Basket onto the Baking Pan and coat with
nonstick cooking spray. Reserve.
2. In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the water,
3 tablespoons (45 ml) butter, vanilla, 1 tablespoon (15 ml) sugar, and
salt, until the butter has melted, the sugar has dissolved, and the
mixture has come to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in the flour
with a wooden spoon. When all the flour has been incorporated,
the mixture should have a paste-like consistency. Allow to cool for
5 minutes.
3. When the flour mixture has cooled, use a hand mixer to beat in the
egg on low speed. The mixture may separate initially, but will come
together again after 2 to 3 minutes of mixing. When smooth, transfer
the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large open star tip.
Alternatively, you can fill a large plastic food storage bag and snip
off a bottom corner.
4. Pipe 4- to 5-inch-long (10 to 13 cm) churros directly in the prepared
basket. Use a knife to cut the dough from the tip. The basket should
fit about 12 churros in a single layer, but churros can be piped and
baked in 2 batches if necessary. Dust the churros with powdered
sugar, this will promote a golden brown and crisp exterior.
5. Place into the oven in the upper rack position. Set to AirFry at 400°F
(200°C). Bake for 8 minutes. Churros are done when golden brown
all over.
6. While churros are baking, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons (30 ml)
of the cold butter. Reserve. Combine 1/4 cup (60 ml) of the sugar and
the cinnamon in a shallow bowl. Reserve.
7. Remove from oven and carefully release the churros from the
basket, brush all over with melted butter, and dredge in cinnamon
sugar mixture.
8. Serve immediately.
