Instructions
  1. Preheat the air fryer to 180c.
  2. Heat a small saucepan over medium-high heat, add water, salt and ¼ cup of butter and bring to the boil.
  3. Reduce heat to low. Add the sifted flour and stir continuously for until a smooth dough is formed. Continue cooking on the low heat, stirring constantly, until dough begins to pull away from the sides of the saucepan, this should take 2-3 minutes.
  4. Once the dough is ready pour into a large bowl. Allow to cool for 1 minute.
  5. Stir the dough mixture again to let out any excess heat.
  6. Add the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is completely mixed through.

  9. Using the piping bag pipe 8 (5cm long) pieces of dough into your air fryer basket, ensuring no dough is touching.

  12. Brush the cooked cinnamon sticks with the melted butter and then roll in the sugar mixture to coat.
