What Is A Churro
A churro is a fried pastry dough that is then rolled in a cinnamon-sugar mixture. But, since this is in a sense a “cheater” churro you will love the ease of the recipe, but still get a tasty treat.
What Do You Need For Easy Churros
- Thawed Puff Pastry
- Cinnamon
- Sugar
- Butter
How Do You Make Air Fryer Churros
- Thaw out your puff pastry from frozen.
- Slice into pieces, and then lay them out on your air fryer tray or in the basket. You need to ensure there is space between each one.
- Air fryer the puff pastry until it is cooked. Remove and then brush each with butter.
- Roll in cinnamon and sugar, and set out on a try.
Dippers For Air Fryer Churros
- Cream cheese dip
- A cinnamon roll glaze
- Chocolate Syrup
- Caramel Sauce or Dulce De Leche
- Dust with powdered sugar
- Etc
The sky is the limit on these tasty puff pastry churro sticks. Feel free to dip or eat them plain.
What If I Don’t Have Puff Pastry
If you don’t have puff pastry, you can honestly swap it out. Granted you will find with a different base to the easy churros, it will change the flavor and the texture.
- Pie crust you roll out and cut.
- Biscuit dough
- Homemade Churro Dough
- Bread dough
Now if you swap out a dough, then you will need to change the cooking time to ensure the dough of what you pick is cooked through.
Can I Bake These In The Oven
Absolutely! You can do baked churros right in your oven. Just preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Then follow the recipe as directed below.
Leave space between each churro stick, as it will expand a little. I would lay out a Silpat or parchment-lined tray to prevent sticking.
Bake around 5-9 minutes or until the pastry is puffed up and cooked. Then you will brush with butter, and roll in cinnamon and sugar.
