If you've ever had a baked donut, brace yourself. These are SO much better. Instead of tasting like a cake, shaped like a donut, each of these tastes like a freshly fried classic glazed donut. Straight from the air fryer, they'll look a little more like bagels, but everything changes once you dip them in glaze and top with rainbow sprinkles. If you're a cinnamon-sugar churro person, you could also go that route. 6 servings Ingredients: 2 tbsp. Melted butter 2 tbsp. Ground cinnamon 1/2 cup Granulated sugar 3 tbsp. Milk 1/4 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder 3/4 cup Powdered sugar 1/2 tsp. Pure vanilla extract oil 2 oz. Milk 1 cup Powdered sugar 1 tsp. Pure vanilla extract oil 1 Large egg 4 tbsp. Melted butter 1/2 tsp. Kosher salt 2 cups All-purpose flour 2 1/4 tsp. Active-dry yeast 1/4 cup Granulated sugar, divided 1/2 cup Milk Cooking spray

      03 Method
      • Step 1
        Grease a large bowl with cooking spray. In a small, microwave-safe bowl or glass measuring cup, add milk. Microwave until lukewarm, 40 seconds. Add a teaspoon of sugar and stir to dissolve, then sprinkle over the yeast and let sit until frothy, about 8 minutes.
      • Step 2
        In a medium bowl, whisk together flour and salt. In a large bowl, whisk together remaining 1/4 cup sugar, butter, egg, and vanilla. Pour in yeast mixture, mix to combine, then add in dry ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms.
      • Step 3
        Transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead until elastic and only slightly tacky, adding more flour a teaspoon at a time if needed, about 5 minutes. Form into a ball then place dough in the oiled bowl and cover with a clean dishtowel. Let dough rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
      • Step 4
        Line a large baking sheet with parchment and lightly grease with cooking spray. Punch down dough, then turn onto a lightly floured work surface and roll out into a 1/2 ” thick rectangle.
      • Step 5
        Using a doughnut cutter or 3” and 1” biscuit cutters, punch out your doughnuts. Re-knead scraps together and punches out as well. Place doughnuts and holes onto baking sheets, cover with a dish towel, and let rise again, 40 minutes to 1 hour more.
      • Step 6
        Meanwhile, make glazes: For vanilla, in a medium bowl whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. For chocolate, in a medium bowl whisk together powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and milk. For cinnamon sugar, in a medium bowl combine cinnamon and sugar.
      • Step 7
        Grease basket of the air fryer with cooking spray and add 2 donuts and 2 donut holes at a time, making sure donuts don’t touch. Cook at 375°F for 6 minutes, until deeply golden. Place on cooling rack and repeat with remaining dough.
      • Step 8
        Dip donuts in glazes or brush with melted butter and toss in cinnamon sugar. Place back on the cooling rack and let set for 5 minutes before serving.
