Preheat the air fryer to 375°F.

Generously spray the air fryer's wire basket with cooking spray.

Combine cold butter pieces, milk, water, sugar, and salt in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir until the butter melts completely and the mixture is combined.

Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer. Then add the flour all at once and stir briskly until the mixture becomes a smooth paste and pulls away from the sides of the pan.

Transfer hot dough to a mixing bowl. Let it cool slightly. Beating with a fork, add the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.

Transfer the dough into a plastic bag and cut the corner to create an opening.

Use the plastic bag to squeeze out 5-inch long churros onto the air fryer basket making sure each churro has space around it.

Fry the churros for 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Let them cool for 5 minutes.

CINNAMON SUGAR COATING

In a shallow bowl, blend the sugar and cinnamon together.

Dip each churro into the melted butter, then into the cinnamon sugar mix, ensuring each churro is fully coated.

SERVING

Serve churros immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer for 5 to 10 minutes until warm and crispy.
