Quick and easy air fryer churros with a crispy outside and soft, fluffy inside. Ready in just 15 minutes using simple pantry ingredients and no deep frying.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) water
  • 2 tablespoons (28 grams) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 2 tablespoons (25 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (125 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • Vegetable oil spray
  • Cinnamon sugar coating:
  • 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup water, 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
  2. Remove from heat and quickly stir in 1 cup all-purpose flour until the mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan. Return to low heat for about 1 minute, stirring constantly to dry the dough slightly.
  3. Transfer the dough to a mixing bowl and let it cool for about 2 minutes so the eggs won’t scramble when added.
  4. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition until the dough is smooth and glossy with a pipeable consistency.
  5. Transfer dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe 4-5 inch strips onto a parchment-lined tray or plate.
  6. Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and lightly spray the basket with vegetable oil spray to prevent sticking.
  7. Place churros in the basket without overcrowding. Cook for 7-8 minutes until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through for even browning.
  8. Toss hot churros in the cinnamon sugar mixture until well coated. Serve immediately for best texture.

Notes

For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil. Use gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free option. Lightly spray air fryer basket to prevent sticking. Flip churros halfway through cooking for even crispiness. Pipe churros onto parchment paper for easy transfer. Reheat leftovers in air fryer at 350°F for 2-3 minutes to keep crisp.
