Ingredients:
- 2 cups & 3 tbsp of all-purpose flour
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/2 stick melted butter
- 1 packet of dried yeast
For the glaze:
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2/3 stick butter
- 3 – 4 tbsp milk (depends on how thin you like your glaze)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Directions:
Step 1
Put the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl (the flour, sugar, salt, and nutmeg), then place it in a stand mixer. (You can always make the dough by manually kneading it.) Next, in a measuring jug, put 1/2 cup of milk, 1/2 stick of melted butter, 1 egg, and 1 packet of dry yeast. Mix it well. Add this mixture into the mixer together with the flour. Mix it on high for about three minutes. Next, grease a bowl, then transfer the dough. Cover it with saran wrap and wait for two hours for it to rise. After the dough rises, flour a surface, then roll the dough using a rolling pin. Aim for about an inch of thickness, don’t roll out too thinly. Cut out the dough using a donut cutter, then place the donuts onto a baking tray with some parchment paper. Sprinkle some flour, then brush the donuts with some melted butter. Allow them to rise for 45 minutes.

Step 2
Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees F. Brush the air fryer basket with some oil, then gently place four donuts into the basket. Cook for exactly 3 minutes. After 3 minutes, pull out the donuts and dump them into the glaze. (For the glaze, just combine all the ingredients which are 2 cups powdered sugar, 2/3 stick butter, 3 – 4 tbsp milk, and 1 tsp vanilla extract into a mixing bowl.) Allow the glaze to set for about 10 minutes and dry.
