- curd1/4 cup
- sugar2 tbsp
- cinnamon1 tsp
- water1/4 cup
Method
Make the dough
Warm the butter and water together until the butter melts, then stir in the flour and curd to a thick, smooth dough. Adding flour to warm liquid cooks it slightly, which gives churros their soft, custardy inside.
Pipe the sticks
Spoon the dough into a piping bag fitted with a star nozzle and pipe short sticks onto parchment. The ridges from the star nozzle are not just for looks, they crisp up and give you more crunchy edges.
Arrange in basket
Lift the sticks into the basket with a little space between each one and spray them lightly with oil. Crowding traps steam and leaves them pale, so a gap and a light oil mist help them brown all over.
Coat and serve
Air fry at 190°C for 12 min until firm, golden and cooked right through. Roll them in the cinnamon and sugar while still warm so the coating sticks to the surface instead of sliding off.
