Churros, the beloved winter dessert, synonymous with bonfire festivities and Christmas markets, can now be enjoyed at home with an air fryer.
Popular Instagram chef Kiley O’Donnell, with a following of over 238k on her account @WellMadeByKiley, unveiled a fool-proof recipe for creating mouth-watering churros using an air fryer.
Method:
For those craving this delightful treat, Kiley’s method involves:
- In a medium pan or pot, combine a cup of water, ¼ teaspoon of salt, a tablespoon of sugar, and ½ cup of butter. Stir continuously and bring it to a boil.
- Remove from heat and stir in a cup of all-purpose flour. The dough should be smooth and detach easily from the pot’s sides.
- Incorporate three eggs, adding them one by one, and ensuring the mixture remains smooth.
- Let the mixture cool and preheat your air fryer to about 200°C (392°F).
- Use a ziplock bag with a corner cut off to pipe the dough. Shape the dough into four-inch long sticks on parchment paper and then place the paper in the air fryer’s basket.
- Mist the churros with cooking spray and fry them for 5-7 minutes until they attain a golden hue.
- Once done, roll the churros in sugar.
Pair the freshly made churros with your choice of a chocolate spread, like Nutella, and enjoy!
