Ingredients

¾ cup Water
¼ cup Butter
1 tablespoon Sugar
1 cup Flour - add up to 2 tablespoon additional as needed to thicken dough.
½ teaspoon Cinnamon
2 Eggs

Topping

⅓ cup Sugar
½ teaspoon Cinnamon

Instructions

Make the dough.

In a medium saucepan on medium heat, heat the water, butter, and sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil while carefully stirring it.
Once the mixture in the saucepan begins to boil, bump the heat down to low and use a rubber spatula to stir in the flour and cinnamon. Continue to stir the ingredients until it is smooth and thickened. Then remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool for five minutes.
When the ingredients have cooled for the amount of time you can transfer the ingredients to a large mixing bowl.
Add the eggs to the mixing bowl and beat or stir until the ingredients are combined and a dough ball begins to form.

Pipe the churros.

Prepare a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Then transfer the dough to a piping bag outfitted with a star tip.
Pipe the churros in 3 to 4" pieces (depending on the size of your fryer basket so that they will fit). You can use a kitchen scissors or knife to cut the churros from the dough if needed.
Refrigerate the piped dough for 15 minutes to help them set.

Finish making the churros

While the dough is chilling you can blend together the remaining cinnamon and sugar in a shallow bowl. Also, preheat your air fryer to 375 and prep the basket as desired.
Transfer the churros to the air fryer basket, leaving about a half inch between them for the air to circulate.
Air fry the churros until they turn golden brown (cooking times can vary depending on the size of your churros and your air fryer).
Carefully dip each of the warm churros into the shallow bowl with cinnamon sugar and serve.
