1. In a medium saucepan, combine water, milk, butter and 1 tablespoon of the sugar. Bring it to a boil over medium heat, stirring as it cooks.
2. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the flour into the saucepan with a wooden spoon. Stir until the flour is completely mixed in.
3. Put the saucepan back on the heat and stir it constantly for 2 minutes, until dough comes together in a smooth ball.
4. Take the dough off the heat and put the dough in a large mixing bowl.
5. Beat the dough with an electric mixer until fluffy. This will cool the dough so the eggs don’t cook when they are added. Beat the dough for 3-5 minutes.
6. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and vanilla extract.
7. Slowly add the egg mixture to the cooled dough in the bowl, beating with the mixer after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl and continue until the eggs are mixed in and the dough is smooth.
8. To pipe the churros use a disposable pastry bag with a #1M open star decorating tip or use a zippered bag with the corner cut off.
9. Add dough to the pastry bag or put it into the plastic bag. If you are using a plastic bag don't cut the corner off until the dough has been added.
10. Pipe dough directly into air fryer basket and cut the end with scissors. I usually make 3 inch churros, but you can adjust the length as desired to fit into your air fryer basket. Smaller churro bites are also fun to make.
11. Once all the churros are in the basket use a mister bottle to spray churros with a little bit of oil.
12. Cook for 8-10 minutes at 380 F or until golden brown.
13. While churros are cooking, combine cinnamon sugar mixture in a medium bowl.
14. Remove churros from air fryer, and add to cinnamon sugar mixture right away. Toss them so they are coated with cinnamon sugar and set them on baking rack to cool.
15. Serve immediately with chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, or nutella for dipping.
