Heyyyoo friends!! Did you miss me? Well, I certainly missed all of you!
My class blog project is actually over which means I don’t have to be posting anymore, however, I’ve decided to continue because I thoroughly love doing this. I hope you love reading my blogs just as much. Rather than sharing two blogs a week, my goal is to post once a week.
Let’s treat ourselves, friends! Today I am going to give you a yummy churro recipe for an air fryer. Yum! Don’t worry, if you don’t have an air fryer, you can still make this recipe. I made these churros a couple of weekends ago for a big Mexican dinner, and man oh man were they delicious. I doubled the batch because I had a feeling they would be a big hit…which they were!
Ingredients
- 5 tablespoons of butter
- 2 tablespoons of sugar
- ½ teaspoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla
- 1 cup of water
- 1 cup of flour
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup of cinnamon sugar
Directions
- Melt the butter on medium heat. Add sugar, salt, water, vanilla, and flour into the saucepan.
- Continue stirring on low heat for 3-4 minutes until the mixture becomes a dough-like consistency.
- Place the dough in a bowl, and let it cool for 5 minutes.
- Next, add one egg at a time until the eggs are mixed through the dough evenly.
- Once the dough is ready, add the mixture into a piping bag or I used a Pampered Chef accent decorator tool.
- You can make these churros as long as you would like. I personally like them about 2-3 inches in length. Place a piece of aluminum foil on a cookie sheet. Spray the foil with cooking spray. Then place the churros on the aluminum foil.
- If you’re using an air fryer, you might have to do 2 different batches. Bake the churros at 400 degrees for about 6-7 minutes.
- Once the churros are cooked to your liking, lightly spray cooking spray over the top. Roll each churro in the cinnamon sugar. Enjoy!
Directions for the stove
- You need about an inch of canola oil in your pan on medium/ high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add them to the skillet.
- Allow the churros to cook for about 5-6 minutes until they are golden brown.
- Remove churros from the skillet, and dry them on a paper towel until dry.
- Lightly spray the churros with olive oil, and roll them in cinnamon sugar.
Let me know if you try these. They are so perfect and yummy. My friends and I ate about 30 of them in one sitting! I made a Tik Tok down below to better explain how to make them.
