Ingredients
For the Donut Holes:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Cinnamon Sugar Coating:
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (for brushing)
Instructions
- Make the Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. It should be slightly sticky but able to hold its shape.
- Shape the Donut Holes:
- Lightly grease your hands, then scoop small amounts of dough (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll into balls.
- Air Fry the Donut Holes:
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for a couple of minutes.
- Place the donut holes in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they don’t touch (you may need to cook in batches).
- Air fry for 5-6 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until golden brown.
- Prepare the Coating:
- While the donut holes are cooking, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl.
- Once the donut holes are done, brush them lightly with melted butter, then roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
- Serve:
- Serve the churro donut holes warm, with dipping sauces like chocolate sauce, caramel, or Nutella if desired.
