Air Fryer Donuts
These yeasted air fryer donuts taste just like deep fried donuts and are way better than baked.

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
Steps
-
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.
-
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.
-
Gather the dough into a ball and place in a lightly oiled bowl and cover. Let rise for 2 hours, or until doubled.
-
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).
-
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.
-
While the doughnuts are rising, make the glaze by mixing together the melted butter, milk, vanilla, and powdered sugar until smooth.
-
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.
-
Glaze the donuts immediately and enjoy!
