# Guide to Cooking:

01 - Combine water, unsalted butter, 2 tablespoons sugar, and salt in a saucepan; bring to a boil over medium heat.

03 - Transfer the dough to a bowl and allow it to cool for 4 to 5 minutes.
04 - Stir in the egg and vanilla extract until fully blended and the dough is smooth.
05 - Preheat the air fryer to 190°C and lightly coat the basket with nonstick spray.
06 - Pipe or spoon the dough into bite-size portions directly onto the air fryer basket, spacing evenly.
07 - Brush tops of dough bites with melted butter and cook in the air fryer for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown.
08 - Mix the remaining white sugar with ground cinnamon in a shallow bowl.
09 - While still warm, toss the air-fried bites thoroughly in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat evenly.
10 - Serve the churro bites warm accompanied by dipping sauces such as chocolate, Nutella, or honey.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Ensure dough is slightly cooled before adding egg to avoid cooking the egg prematurely.
