Ingredients
Scale
For the Donut Base:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup whole milk (or almond/oat milk)
- 1 large egg
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp milk
Instructions
- 1. Prepare Your Dough
- In a bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, and sugar. In another bowl, whisk together milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- 2. Combine Ingredients
- Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined—be cautious not to overmix to keep donuts fluffy.
- 3. Shape Your Donuts
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and roll it out to about half an inch thick. Use a donut cutter or two round cutters to cut out shapes. Remember to save the holes!
- 4. Air Fry Them
- Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray the basket with cooking spray and arrange donuts in a single layer. Cook for about 5-6 minutes until they are golden brown.
- 5. Glaze Your Donuts
- While cooling slightly, prepare the glaze by mixing powdered sugar and milk. Dip each warm donut into the glaze for maximum coverage.
- 6. Serve and Enjoy
- Place your donuts on a serving plate and serve immediately for optimal freshness.
