- Granulated SugarThis essential ingredient forms the sweet coating and helps create that signature churro crispness. It will be combined with cinnamon.

- Unsalted ButterMelted butter acts as the adhesive for the cinnamon sugar, ensuring it coats every surface of the angel cake bites. Use good quality butter for the best flavor.

Notes
- Enjoy these delightful bites immediately for peak crispness; if there are any delicious leftovers, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a day, though the texture will soften slightly.
- To bring back some of that wonderful crispiness for day-old bites, a quick refresh in an oven or air fryer at 300°F (150°C) for a few minutes will work wonders, avoiding the microwave to prevent sogginess.
- Serve your churro bites warm, fresh from frying or baking, alongside a generous dusting of powdered sugar and a selection of decadent dipping sauces like chocolate or caramel for an extra indulgent treat.
- For truly golden and crisp churro bites, ensure your frying oil is consistently heated to around 350-375°F (175-190°C); this prevents them from becoming greasy and helps achieve that perfect exterior quickly.
