Air Fryer Donuts

Ingredients

• 60 g milk (1/4 cup - whole milk preferred)
• 20 g butter (2 tbsp + 2 tsp - melted)
• 27 g egg (1.5 tbsp - half a large egg)
• 3.5 g active dry yeast (1 + 1/8 tsp - or instant rise yeast)
• 140 g all purpose flour (1 cup + 1.5 tbsp)
• 20 g sugar (1.5 tbsp)
• 1.5 g salt (1/4 tsp)
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 5 tbsp butter
• 1.5 tbsp milk
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

1. 1

   Stir together the milk, melted butter, egg, and yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer. Add the flour, sugar, and salt and stir until a shaggy dough comes together.

2. 2

   Knead on high for 3-5 minutes or until the dough is smooth and incorporated. Alternatively, mix and knead by hand for about 10 minutes.

3. 3

   Gather the dough into a ball and place in a lightly oiled bowl and cover. Let rise for 2 hours, or until doubled.

4. 4

   Tip the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and roll to about 1 inch thick. Cut into doughnuts, gathering the excess dough and cutting into doughnuts (or donut holes).

5. 5

   Place the doughnuts on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and brush with melted butter. Let rise for 45 minutes, or until doubled and puffy.

6. 6

   While the doughnuts are rising, make the glaze by mixing together the melted butter, milk, vanilla, and powdered sugar until smooth.

7. 7

   Preheat your air fryer to 350°F. Gently oil the basket and place the doughnuts, slightly spaced out, into the basket. Air fry for 3 minutes. They should will be golden brown and puffy.

8. 8

   Glaze the donuts immediately and enjoy!
