5 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold, divided
½ teaspoon vanilla
¼ cup sugar, plus 1 tablespoon

1 tablespoon cinnamon
Nonstick cooking spray

three tablespoons butter, vanilla extract, 1 tablespoon sugar, and
salt . Stir occasionally until the butter has melted, the sugar has
dissolved, and the mixture has come to a boil . Remove from heat
and stir in the flour with a wooden spoon . When all the flour has been
incorporated, the mixture should have a paste-like consistency .

the egg on low speed . The mixture may separate initially, but will
come together again after 2 to 3 minutes of mixing . When smooth,
transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large open star tip .
Alternatively, you can fill a large plastic food storage bag and snip
off a bottom corner .
4 . Pipe 4- to 5-inch long churros directly in the prepared basket .
Use a knife to cut the dough from the tip . The basket should fit about
12 churros in a single layer, but churros can be piped and baked in
two batches if necessary . Dust the churros with powdered sugar,
this will promote a golden brown and crisp exterior .
5 . Place into the oven in rack position 2 . Set to AirFry at 400°F . Bake for
8 minutes . Churros are done when golden brown all over .
6 . While churros are baking, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of the
cold butter . Reserve . Combine 1/4 cup of the sugar and the cinnamon
in a shallow bowl . Reserve .
7 . Remove from oven and carefully release the churros from the basket,
brush all over with melted butter, and dredge in cinnamon sugar
mixture .
