How To Make Air Fryer Donuts
Step 1
Dissolve the yeast in the milk and set it aside for a few minutes to activate.
Step 2
In a large bowl, mix together the flour and potato starch. Add the egg, vegetable oil, and lemon zest. Mix with a fork until combined. Stir in the sugar and vanilla extract. Gradually add the milk with the dissolved yeast, mixing first with a fork, then kneading by hand until the dough is smooth and compact.
Step 3
Transfer the dough to a flat surface and knead until it’s smooth. Place it back in the bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise for 2 hours.
Step 4
Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface and use a round pastry cutter and the tip of a piping bag to cut out donut shapes.
Step 5
Place the donuts on small squares of parchment paper. Cover with plastic wrap and a kitchen towel, and let them rise for another 45 minutes.
Step 6
Preheat the air fryer to 360°F. Cook the donuts in the air fryer for about 5 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 7
While the donuts are still warm, brush them with butter and roll them in granulated sugar for a sweet finish.
