Steps

1. 1

   In a saucepan, bring the water, milk, butter, sugar, and salt to a boil.

2. 2

   Remove the saucepan from the heat. Add the flour and cornstarch, then mix until a smooth dough forms.

3. 3

   Let the dough cool for 5 to 10 minutes. Then mix in the vanilla extract.

4. 4

   If the dough is too firm to pipe, gradually add 1 to 2 tbsp of warm water until it reaches a pipeable consistency.

5. 5

   Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a star-shaped open-star tip.

6. 6

   Pipe 3 to 4-inch churros onto parchment paper, then lightly spray them with oil.

7. 7

   Preheat the air fryer to 200 °C for 3 to 4 minutes.

8. 8

   Cook the churros at 180 °C for 16 minutes, turning them halfway through cooking.

9. 9

   Increase the temperature to 200 °C and continue cooking for 2 to 3 minutes, until the churros are golden and crispy.

10. 10

    Brush the churros with melted butter, then coat them in the sugar-and-cinnamon mixture.

Notes

The source does not specify the exact number of churros produced. The amount of warm water is only an optional consistency adjustment. The recipe specifies air-fryer cooking without deep-frying.
