Churros cooked in the air fryer

Ingredients

Dough:

• 1 cup water
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 2 Tbsp sugar
• 1 pinch salt
• 1+1/3 cup flour
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 3 eggs

Coating:

• 1 Tbsp vegetable oil (spray, as needed)
• 1 Tbsp sugar
• 1 Tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon (optional)

Chocolate sauce (ganache):

• 1/2 cup heavy cream (30% fat)
• 3.5 oz dark chocolate

Materials

• Saucepan
• Whisk
• Wooden spoon
• Piping bag / cut-up freezer bag
• Fluted piping tip
• Parchment paper (optional)

Preparation

• Pour the water into a saucepan. Add white sugar, brown sugar, salt and butter. Wait for the water to boil; the butter should melt completely. Stir if necessary.
• Remove from heat and add flour all at once. Mix well to incorporate.
  
• Return to the heat and stir with a wooden spoon until the dough pulls away from the edges.
• Add the vanilla extract, then the eggs, one at a time, incorporating each one well into the dough before adding the next.
  
• Transfer the still-warm dough to a piping bag fitted with a fluted piping tip.
• Spray oil onto sheets of parchment paper cut to fit the air fryer basket.
  Pipe straight, well-spaced lines of dough onto the parchment paper (the churros will puff up).
  *You can refrigerate them so the dough sets and they hold their shape.
  
• Spray the churros with oil again. Cook them for 12 minutes at 390°F/200°C in "Air Fry" mode.
  
  * You can flip them halfway through cooking.
• Cook a little longer if necessary, then roll the churros in a mixture of sugar and brown sugar.
  
  For the ganache, heat the cream, add the chocolate in small pieces and stir until smooth.
  
• It's ready! Enjoy it hot!
