Air fryer Donuts!

Ingredients

• 1 cup All-Purpose Flour (just enough to bring the dough together; sifted)
• 1 teaspoon Baking Powder (leavening agent)
• ¼ teaspoon Salt (enhances flavor)
• 2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar (sweetens the dough)
• ½ cup Milk (room temperature)
• 1 large Egg (room temperature)
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter (melted, cooled slightly)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (pure vanilla)
• 1 cup Powdered Sugar (for glaze, sifted)
• 2 tablespoons Milk (for glaze) (adds shine to glaze)

Instructions

1. Combine Dry Ingredients

   In a mixing bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar until evenly distributed.

   Time: PT5M

2. Add Wet Ingredients and Form Dough

   Create a well in the dry mixture, then add the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla. Stir gently until the dough just comes together; it will be slightly sticky.

   Time: PT5M

3. Shape Donuts

   Lightly flour a clean surface, turn the dough out, and pat it to about ½‑inch thickness. Use a small round cutter (or a bottle cap) to cut circles, then use a smaller cutter for the center hole.

   Time: PT5M

4. Preheat Air Fryer

   Set the air fryer to 350°F and let it preheat for 3 minutes.

   Time: PT3M

   Temperature: 350°F

5. Air Fry Donuts

   Place a single layer of donuts (with parchment if desired) in the air‑fryer basket. Cook for 3‑4 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.

   Time: PT4M

   Temperature: 350°F

6. Cool Slightly

   Transfer the hot donuts to a cooling rack and let them sit for 2 minutes; this prevents the glaze from melting off.

   Time: PT2M

7. Prepare Glaze

   In a small bowl whisk together the powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of milk until smooth and glossy.

   Time: PT2M

8. Glaze Donuts

   Dip the top of each warm donut into the glaze, let excess drip off, and place back on the rack to set for about 1 minute.

   Time: PT2M
