PRE TIME: 1 hr 2 min
COOKING TIME: 5 min
TOTAL TIME: 1 hr 7 min
8 SERVING
Ingredients:
  • For the dough:
  • 9.8 oz. All-purpose flour
  • 3 tbsp. Sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. Salt
  • 1/4 tsp. Nutmeg
  • 1 Large Egg
  • 1/2 cup Whole milk
  • 1/3 Stick Melted butter
  • 1 Packet Dried yeast
  • For the glaze:
  • 2 cup Powdered sugar
  • 2/3 Stick Butter
  • 5 tbsp. Milk, depending on how thin you like your glaze
  • 1 tsp. Vanilla extract
Directions:
1
In a large bowl combine flour, nutmeg, sugar, and salt together.
2
Add the milk and add egg, melted butter, and yeast.
3
Combine the dry ingredients and the wet ingredients. Knead the dough on a work surface for 10 minutes. If you choose to use a stand mixer knead the dough on high for 3 minutes.
4
Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover, and allow the dough to rise for 2 hours to 4 hours if the air temperature is colder.
5
Roll out the dough to about 1-inch thickness (DO NOT roll the dough too thin, see the video for visuals) and cut out the donut shapes.
6
Place the donuts onto some parchment paper, brush them with melted butter (optionally) and let them rise again for another 45 minutes.
7
After 45 minutes, preheat your air fryer to 350 °F/180 °C. Once the air fryer has preheated (on my air fryer, an alarm sounds when it’s preheated), gently place the donuts into the greased basket and cook for exactly 3 minutes.
8
Toss the donuts in the glaze or alternatively, if you don't want to glaze these, once the donuts come out of the air fryer and while they're still hot brush the donuts with melted butter and quickly toss them in cinnamon sugar.
9
Glaze the donuts: Mix melted butter, warm milk, sugar, and vanilla extract. Toss the donuts in the glaze and set them aside on a sheet pan rack.
