# Instructions:
01 -
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine water, butter, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil.

Once boiling, reduce heat to low and add flour all at once. Stir vigorously until a dough forms and pulls away from the sides (about 2–3 minutes).

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the dough cool for 5–7 minutes.
04 -
Add vanilla and beat in eggs one at a time until smooth and glossy. The dough will be thick and sticky.
05 -
Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe 1-inch bites onto a parchment-lined baking tray.
06 -
Place the tray in the freezer for 10 minutes to firm up.
07 -
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray the basket with cooking spray.
08 -
Air fry the bites in batches for 8–10 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.
09 -
While still warm, brush with melted butter and toss in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat completely.
10 -
Serve warm with chocolate sauce or caramel if desired.
