Churros (Spanish “Fried” Dough)
AirFrying lends an airy crunchiness to this traditionally fried treat.
Makes about 12 churros, 6 servings
2
/
3
cup water
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold, divided
½ teaspoon vanilla
¼ cup sugar, plus 1 tablespoon
Pinch of kosher salt
½ cup unbleached, all-purpose flour
1 large egg, at room temperature
Powdered sugar for dusting, optional
1 tablespoon cinnamon
Nonstick cooking spray
1. Place the AirFryer Basket onto the Baking Pan and coat with nonstick
spray. Reserve.
2. In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the water,
three tablespoons butter, vanilla extract, 1 tablespoon sugar, and
salt. Stir occasionally 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 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 two
batches if necessary. Dust the churros with powdered sugar, this will
promote a golden brown and crisp exterior.
5. Place into the oven in rack position 2. Set to AirFry at 400°F. Bake for
8 minutes. Churros are done when golden brown all over.
6. While churros are baking, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of the
cold butter. Reserve. Combine ¼ cup 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.
