Air fryer churros with cinnamon sugar at 190°C

Instructions

• 1.Cook the dough

  Bring the water, butter, 10 g sugar and salt to a boil in a small saucepan.
  Remove from the heat, add all the flour and stir.
  Return to low heat for 1 minute until a dough ball pulls away from the sides.
  Allow about 3 minutes of stovetop cooking.
  

• 2.Add the egg and pipe

  Cool the dough for 5 minutes, then gradually beat in the beaten egg until thick enough to hold its ridges; you may not need all of it.
  Using a star nozzle, pipe about twelve 8 cm long, 1 cm thick sticks onto baking paper.
  Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
  

• 3.Cook in batches

  Preheat according to your manual.
  Brush the churros with oil and transfer them on suitable baking paper held down by the dough, without blocking the whole basket.
  Never preheat with loose paper.
  Air fry at 190°C for 10–12 minutes per batch, leaving space between sticks.
  Carefully turn after 7 minutes if firm enough.
  

• 4.Prepare the finishing touches

  While cooking, mix 25 g sugar with cinnamon.
  Gently warm the milk, pour it over the chopped chocolate and stir into a sauce.
  

• 5.Coat and serve

  Check one churro: the inside should be cooked with no wet band of raw dough.
  Roll the warm churros in cinnamon sugar and serve with chocolate.
  Their crust is lighter and their surface less oily than deep-fried churros.
