This year my dad got an air fryer for Christmas. My entire family has been intrigued by the appliance ever since they got really popular a couple of years back, and luckily my dad has no problem sharing his gift.
I’ve been trying to find different things to make using the air fryer ever since. While scrolling through an article with tons of recipes I encountered one for some churros. I’ve honestly never had a churro before, so I decided it would be fun to attempt to make some.
The process ended up having a lot more steps than I originally assumed. In order to make the dough I boiled some ingredients, added flour, put the ingredients in a bowl and added more ingredients. Next I needed to pipe the dough into the right shape. I definitely do not have any piping bags or any star shaped piping tips, so I decided to try putting the dough into a plastic bag with a snipped corner. This worked surprisingly well, meaning it was time to move to the next step and chill the dough for an hour before putting the pieces in the fryer.
After an hour passed I began to fry the dough. Meanwhile, I mixed some sugar and cinnamon in a bowl that I would later dust them with. When I began to put the warm churros in the sugar I noticed that the sugar was not sticking. To fix this I sprayed the churros with vegetable oil first. I’m not sure if that was something I was supposed to do, but it worked!
After a process that took a couple hours my churros were finally finished! I was excited to try them myself and for my family to try them. I took a large bite of one. I was definitely surprised by the taste, but it was really good! My dad and brother tried some and absolutely loved them.
Learning a new recipe like this was a lot more work than I thought it would be, but I’m proud of the results. I also feel as though I’ve gained skills not only in cooking, but also with the air fryer!
I was really happy to see how much my family enjoyed the snack. Ever since they’ve been asking for me to make them again, and I definitely will!
