Hi Bold Bakers.
I recently became the proud owner of my first air fryer and for those of you who have never
used an air fryer it roasts it toasts it dehydrates and reheats.
It does so many things.
One of those things also it bakes.
I'm going to show you how you can make delicious churros in an air fryer, and I'm going to
fill them with all Dulce De Leche that's going to be absolutely amazing.
So no come here to me over to the stovetop because we're going to make our pastry.
The pastry for a churro is a kind of a classic Eclair professional choux pastry, it's really
easy to make.
So we're going to start out in my nice heavy-bottomed saucepan, and I'm going to add in my water,
butter, brown sugar, and salt.
And then just turn this on to a medium low ish heat and let this butter melt and the
sugar dissolve.
So once your sugar has melted, now we are going to go in with our flour.
So add that in there and with a whisk, just whisk until it's nice and smooth until your
dough forms.
So now here's what we do for this classically you cook it on the stovetop for around two
minutes or so it'll get a little bit drier, it'll all clump up into one piece.
And all we're doing is just cooking out the flour.
So you see the way it's cleaning the bottom of the saucepan.
And it's coming to form like one Joe.
This is looking great.
We love to cook for around two minutes.
Now I'm going to take it off the stovetop and we're going to follow me over here.
And this is where we add in our eggs.
Now it's really important when you're making this recipe to have your eggs at room temperature.
You don't want cold eggs hitting hot pastry that will not end well for anybody.
So make sure they're at room temperature.
I'm going to add in a little bit just a little bit and then with my whisk go in there and
vigorously bees and those eggs, you just want to put a little bit to begin with.
And then once that's in there, you're going to add in more.
And then just keep on whisking, you do get this kind of mix that looks a little bit like
very loose mashed potatoes, but that's very common.
That's what it's supposed to look like.
keep on mixing and it comes together.
The reason we do this in stages is so that the two different mixtures can kind of come
to the same temperature.
It's very hard to dump all those eggs in at once.
It's gonna be very hard to get that dough to come together.
But you go this is looking great, gorgeous, really simple, and it yields such an amazing
sweet treat.
So here I have my piping bag and nozzle.
It's a one m nozzle and it's a star tip so it's going to make for really beautiful looking
churro.
When pushing your nozzle in there just make sure you don't cut too much of the piping
bag away because what can happen is your piping nozzle can pop out so just cut a little bit
off the top and then shove in your piping nozzle.
It's okay that our pastry is still warm, that's totally fine.
We're going to fill our piping bag with it.
So once you're ready to pipe your churros, I'm just going to turn on my air fryer.
I'm going to put mine at 325 I'll tell you why it is really powerful.
I don't want them to get too too brown.
Perfect.
Let's go let that heat up while we pipe our churros.
So now pipe on a little square of parchment whatever the size of your air fryer is also
known as you can put these into the oven that's totally fine too.
And I have all that information on BiggerBolderBaking.com . So pipe a churro with a steady hand nice
and thick around four inches.
put some pressure on the piping bag to get a nice thick churro and go slowly don't have
to rush through this.
Now the thing about doing an air fryer is they are kind of small, so you only get four
at the one time roughly but that's okay because they're worth the weight.
You can eat some new cook-off new ones and have them all fresh.
gonna open up an air fryer and carefully pop these in.
Now I'm gonna set my timer these take less than 15 minutes to bake and before you know
what we're gonna have some amazing hot churros.
So I gave them a few extra minutes, but it took less than 20, and look at these lovely
golden brown their house they baked up beautifully.
Now you might notice that they might go a little bit flat but that's okay because we
are going to fill them and then plug them back up again.
Which is look at that ridges everything.
Oh my gosh, this smells amazing.
So here I have a piping bag full of dulce de leche.
You can also use like any kind of a caramel sauce, you can use storebought or you can
go to Bigger Bolder Baking.com and I show you how you can make it really easily by boiling
the can of condensed milk.
So what I'm going to do is get a little knife and just pairs a hole in the end of the churro
like this.
And that opening is going to be for my dulce de leche to lead And then I'm going to pipe
it in until it fills the churro.
And I'm going to just do another one in the other side, just to make sure that it's coming
out both sides.
Gorgeous.
Then what you want to do is here I have a bag of cinnamon sugar.
I'm just going to toss my filled churro in the cinnamon sugar to coat it.
And there we have it.
Absolutely gorgeous, really easy.
These are restaurant quality.
Now while they're still warm and fresh, I'm going to get Kevin to come on in.
Come on in Kevin.
All right, Gem.
I got to tell you I was pretty skeptical about the air fryer so check that is amazing.
Gorgeous, huh?
Wow.
These are some legit churros.
I love the explosion of dulce de leche.
That's an amazing addition.
Oh my gosh, cinnamon sugar and the soft dough.
I mean, seriously.
And an alternative way to bake.
I love it.
Gem, think you can do brownies.
Of course, I do brownies, I can do cookies I could do blondies.
You let us know what you want to see down in the air fryer in the comments below.
Thanks for watching and I'll see you again very soon.
Thanks, everybody.
Have another one.
Absolutely.
