How to Make It

1. Make the dough: In a saucepan, combine water, butter, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a simmer until the butter melts.
2. Add flour: Stir in flour all at once, mixing quickly until a ball forms. Cook 1 minute to remove excess moisture.
3. Cool slightly: Let the dough rest for 5 minutes, then add eggs one at a time, beating until smooth and glossy. Stir in vanilla.
4. Pipe or scoop: Transfer to a piping bag (or use a spoon) and shape small rounds or strips onto parchment paper.
5. Air fry: Spray with oil and cook at 375°F for 8–10 minutes, until golden brown and puffed.
6. Coat: Toss warm churro bites in cinnamon sugar immediately.
7. Serve: Enjoy plain or dip into melted chocolate, caramel, or whipped cream.

Best ways to serve:

Avoid these mistakes:

• Don’t add eggs while the dough is too hot, it’ll scramble.
