Air Fryer Yeast Donuts for Two
Air Fryer Yeast Donuts for Two
By now, you’ve probably seen air fryer donuts using refrigerated biscuits all over the internet! Don’t get us wrong; those are delicious and so easy to make. But if you’re like us and crave the fluffy yeast donuts with the crackled glaze coating, these are more your speed! These air fryer donuts are the ‘healthier’ alternative to frying but with all the flavor and only half of the guilt.
Ingredients
Directions
In a stand mixer, add the milk, sugar, and yeast, letting sit for 5 minutes until foamy. Add the salt, egg, melted butter, and flour, mixing on low speed until the dough no longer sticks to the bowl, adding more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed. Increase the speed to medium and knead for 5 minutes, until the dough is elastic and smooth.
In a large greased bowl, add the dough, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise for 1 hour in a warm place, until doubled in size.
On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about ½-inch thick. Using a 3-inch round cutter, cut out 4 donuts and a 1-inch round cutter to remove the center. Place the donuts and holes on a lightly floured baking sheet, spray lightly with oil, and let rise for 45 minutes in a warm place, until doubled in size.
Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray the air fryer with oil, add the donuts, and spray with oil, cook for 3-5 minutes, until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining donuts.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth. Remove from the heat and stir in the hot water, one tablespoon at a time, until the icing is thin, but not watery, adding more if necessary.
Dip the hot donuts and holes into the glaze to submerge them. Place on a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet for the excess glaze to drip off. Let sit until the glaze hardens, about 10 minutes.
