Ingredients:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (120g)
  • 1/4 cup sugar (50g)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup milk (60ml)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (30g)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Glaze (optional):

  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1-2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the dough – In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, and mix well to form the dough. If the dough is too sticky, you can add a little more flour.
  2. Shape the donuts – Roll the dough into small balls and shape them into donut shapes. You can use a donut cutter or flatten the dough evenly, then use a round cutter to create the hole in the middle.
  3. Preheat the air fryer – Preheat the air fryer to 180°C (350°F).
  4. Cook the donuts – Place the donuts in the air fryer basket and cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping them halfway through for even cooking. The donuts should be golden and crispy when done.
  5. Glaze (optional) – To make the glaze, mix the sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Dip the cooked donuts into the glaze after they are done.
  6. Serve – Serve the donuts warm or let them cool slightly before enjoying.

Flavor Variations:

  • Chocolate donuts – Add melted chocolate to the glaze or drizzle it over the donuts for a chocolatey treat.
  • Cinnamon sugar donuts – Coat the donuts with a mix of cinnamon and sugar for a classic flavor.
  • Fruit glaze donuts – Try using fruit puree for the glaze to give a refreshing, fruity twist.

Serving Suggestions:

  • Enjoy as a snack with coffee or tea.
  • Perfect for kids’ snacks or party desserts.
  • Serve warm for a sweet treat.

Tips for Perfect Donuts:

  • Dough thickness – Make sure the dough is not too thick to allow for a crispy finish.
  • Air fryer capacity – Ensure the donuts are arranged in a single layer in the air fryer basket for even cooking.
  • Glazing – Don’t let the donuts cool completely before dipping them in the glaze for better coverage.
