Air Fryer Churros Recipe

Pour water into medium saucepan. Add butter, sugar and salt. Stir well. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Remove churros from the refrigerator. Using a spatula, carefully transfer to the air fryer basket. (leave 1/2 inch space between them) Spray churros with cooking spray.
