3. Step-by-Step Instructions for Making Fluffy Churro Bites

Preparing the Dough

In a medium saucepan, combine water, sugar, salt, and butter. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, remove from heat and stir in the flour until the mixture forms a smooth dough. Let it cool slightly.

Incorporating Eggs and Flavor

Transfer the dough to a mixing bowl. Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract until well combined. The dough should be smooth and slightly sticky.

Forming the Churro Bites

Using a piping bag fitted with a star tip, pipe small bite-sized portions of dough onto parchment-lined tray or silicone mat. Alternatively, you can use a spoon to scoop the dough into small mounds.

Cooking in the Air Fryer

Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Place the formed churro bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not touch. Cook for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown and crunchy.

Coating and Serving

While still warm, toss the churro bites in cinnamon sugar until evenly coated. Serve immediately with melted chocolate or caramel dip for extra indulgence.

4. Storage Tips for Leftover Fluffy Churro Bites

Keep any unused churro bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes to revive the crunch. For longer storage, freeze the bites and reheat directly from frozen.
