Instructions:
1. Prepare the Dough:
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, mix milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until combined. The dough will be sticky.
2. Shape the Donuts:
- Lightly flour a work surface and gently knead the dough. Roll it out to about ½ inch thickness. Use a donut cutter or two round cutters (one larger and one smaller) to cut out donut shapes.
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with oil spray.
3. Air Fry the Donuts:
- Place the donuts in the air fryer basket in a single layer, leaving space between them. Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 5-6 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.
- Remove and set aside to cool slightly.
4. Cinnamon Sugar Coating (optional):
- In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon. Brush the donuts with melted butter and dip them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
5. Powdered Sugar Glaze (optional):
- Mix powdered sugar with milk until smooth. Dip or drizzle the glaze over the donuts, and top with sprinkles if desired.
Tips for Success:
- Use fresh baking powder: This ensures the donuts rise well.
- Avoid overcrowding: Air fry in batches if needed, so they cook evenly.
- Experiment with flavors: Add nutmeg or cinnamon to the dough for more flavor.
Recommendations:
- Serve fresh from the air fryer for the best taste and texture.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days, and reheat in the air fryer for a minute or two.
