What else can the air fryer do?! I’m putting the air fryer to another test to really push its boundaries and see where its limits lie. Can it make a delicious cheesy deep dish pizza? How about popcorn? Churros? Well, that’s what I’m doing today. I’m testing out 8 new and exciting recipes all of them using different techniques and flavors to really push the boundaries. You can check out how they call came out here.

Tons of people in the comments were asking ‘why not just use a regular oven?’ Well, for three reasons… 1.) Its convenient. It’s convenient to store and to use. Sometimes you don’t need a gigantic oven and you also don’t need to use all that gas to heat up that oven so using a smaller and faster air fryer is the way to go. 2.) Its safe. One of the my studio mates lets her 6 year old son make his breakfast in the morning because she trust him using it versus an actual oven. 3.) It so much healthier for you. I use just a spray of oil in almost all of these recipes where if I had used an actual oven I would have to use more way more! The air fryer is a great and easy way to cook up a huge variety of delicious and healthy foods.

Churros:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of warm

• 1 cup of all purpose flour

• 1 stick of butter

• 2 tablespoons of sugar

• ¼ teaspoon of salt

• 3 eggs

Instructions:

1. In a saucepan melt the butter along with the water and sugar over medium high heat. Bring to a gentle bowl.

2. Reduce the heat to low and vigorously stir in your flour and salt until it is fully absorbed by the hot liquid.

3. Next, whisk in one egg at a time, only adding another egg once the previous one is fully incorporated.

4. I eventually moved from a whisk to a wooden spatula because the batter became too thick but continue mixing until the batter becomes nice and creamy!

5. Add the batter into a piping bag or ziploc back with a piping tip attached to it.

6. Pipe out your churros about 3 – 4 inches long and give them a light spray of oil

7. Airfryer them at 380 degrees fahrenheit for 6 minutes.

8. Flip them over and then cook for another 3 minutes.
