Calories: 135kcal
Ingredients
- 60 g milk 1/4 cup - whole milk preferred
- 20 g butter 2 tbsp + 2 tsp - melted
- 27 g egg 1.5 tbsp - half a large egg
- 3.5 g active dry yeast 1 + 1/8 tsp - or instant rise yeast
- 140 g all purpose flour 1 cup + 1.5 tbsp
- 20 g sugar 1.5 tbsp
- 1.5 g salt 1/4 tsp
Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 5 tbsp butter
- 1.5 tbsp milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Stir together the milk, melted butter, egg, and yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer. Add the flour, sugar, and salt and stir until a shaggy dough comes together.
- Knead on high for 3-5 minutes or until the dough is smooth and incorporated. Alternatively, mix and knead by hand for about 10 minutes.
- Gather the dough into a ball and place in a lightly oiled bowl and cover. Let rise for 2 hours, or until doubled.
- Tip the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and roll to about 1 inch thick. Cut into doughnuts, gathering the excess dough and cutting into doughnuts (or donut holes).
- Place the doughnuts on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and brush with melted butter. Let rise for 45 minutes, or until doubled and puffy.
- While the doughnuts are rising, make the glaze by mixing together the melted butter, milk, vanilla, and powdered sugar until smooth.
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F. Gently oil the basket and place the doughnuts, slightly spaced out, into the basket. Air fry for 3 minutes. They should will be golden brown and puffy.
- Glaze the donuts immediately and enjoy!
