Ingredients

1 cup water
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (for coating)
Cooking spray

Instructions

Prepare the Dough: In a medium saucepan, combine water, butter, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in flour until combined. Let cool for a few minutes.
Add Eggs: Once the mixture has cooled slightly, add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract until the dough is smooth.
Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).

Pipe Churros: Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe strips of dough (about 4-6 inches long) onto a piece of parchment paper.
Cook: Lightly spray the churros with cooking spray and place them in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
Coat with Sugar: While the churros are cooking, combine sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Once churros are done, immediately coat them in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
