Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for making air fryer donuts:
### Ingredients:
– For the Donuts:
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar
– 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
– 1/2 cup milk
– 1 large egg
– 2 tablespoons melted butter
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– For the Glaze:
– 1 cup powdered sugar
– 2 tablespoons milk
– 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
### Instructions:
1. Prepare the Dough:
– In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg (if using).
– In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
– Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
2. Shape the Donuts:
– Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thick.
– Use a donut cutter or two round cookie cutters (one larger and one smaller) to cut out donut shapes. Gather and re-roll any scraps to make additional donuts.
3. Preheat the Air Fryer:
– Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes.
4. Air Fry the Donuts:
– Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray.
– Place the donuts in a single layer in the basket, making sure they do not touch.
– Air fry for about 5-6 minutes, or until they are golden brown. You may need to do this in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
5. Prepare the Glaze:
– While the donuts are cooling, mix the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth.
6. Glaze the Donuts:
– Once the donuts have cooled slightly, dip the tops into the glaze and allow the excess to drip off. Place them on a wire rack to set.
7. Serve:
– Enjoy your air fryer donuts warm or at room temperature!
Feel free to customize your donuts with sprinkles, chocolate glaze, or any toppings you prefer. Enjoy your baking!
