Our favourite two-ingredient dough serves as the starting point for these cinnamon-spiced treats. The dough gets a flavour boost with vanilla extract, and is then rolled into ropes and air-fried until crisp and light. To create the churros effect, the cooked dough gets brushed with a little butter and rolled in cinnamon sugar.

Instructions
1
In a small bowl, place flour, yogurt, and ½ tsp vanilla; stir well with a wooden spoon until just combined and then keep mixing dough in bowl with your hands until smooth (about 1 minute of kneading).
2
Place a large piece of baking paper on a work surface and sprinkle lightly with a little flour. Place dough on paper. Use a knife to cut dough into 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 5-inch long rope.
3
Preheat air fryer, if necessary, to 190°C. Coat the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Arrange dough ropes in air fryer, leaving some space between them. Lightly coat dough with cooking spray. Air-fry until golden brown, 6 to 7 minutes.

While churros cook, combine 2 tbsps sugar and cinnamon on a plate or other shallow dish. In a glass jug, whisk together the milk, cocoa, cornflour and the remaining 1½ tsp sugar and ¼ tsp vanilla. Microwave on High for 1 minute, until bubbly and thick, whisking every 20 seconds.

When the churros are done, brush all over with melted butter and roll in cinnamon sugar. Serve warm with the chocolate sauce.
