Donuts versus Doughnuts

Doughnuts and donuts are the same thing, they are just two different ways of spelling the pastry. Either refers to a leavened, sweet pastry that you top with glazes, sprinkles, powdered sugar, and many other toppings that you may like.u003cbr /u003e

What temperature to fry air fry donuts

When you follow our air fryer donut recipe, you will need to set your air fryer to 400 F and then cook them for 5 to 8 minutes. u003cbr /u003e

Can I make these in the oven?

If you prefer, you can bake the donuts in the oven. To do this, preheat the oven to 350 F and then bake for 10 to 12 minutes on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. u003cbr /u003e

How to make self raising flour

If you don’t have self-rising flour, you can make your own. To do this, add 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder and ¼ teaspoon of fine salt to every cup of all-purpose flour. Following this formula, you can make as much as you need.u003cbr /u003e

Once the air fryer donuts have cooled, you can store them at room temperature in an airtight container. You may want to give each a bit of room so they don’t stick together when storing. Or you can place a sheet of parchment paper between layers of donuts.u003cbr /u003e

Instructions

First, add the flour, yogurt, baking powder, and melted butter to a large bowl. Next, combine the ingredients to make a thick, sticky dough.

Lightly flour the counter top and transfer the dough on it and then knead it gently until smooth. You do not want to overwork the dough or else the donut will turn out hard and dense.

Next, divide the dough into 4 parts. Roll out each portion into a long line and then connect both sides to form a donut (round) shape. Alternatively, you could roll the dough into a ¼ inch thick sheet and then use a large round cookie cutter to cut the round shape and use a bottle cap to cut the inside of the circle to give it a donut shape.

Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper and then place the 4 donuts in the basket.

Air fry at 400 F for 5 to 8 minutes and then allow the donuts to completely cool before glazing the donuts.

As they cook, you can prepare the glaze by adding the powdered sugar and water to a bowl and then mixing it well until you get a thick smooth glaze.

For the vegan chocolate glaze, you will want to melt the chocolate chips in a microwave, stirring at 30 second intervals, and then dip the donuts in the chocolate glaze.

Finally, dip each donut in the glaze and place them on a wire rack and top it with sprinkles.

Notes

Do not overwork the dough when kneading or the donuts will become dense and hard.

Use parchment paper to help the donuts not stick and to reduce mess.

When placing donuts in the air fryer basket, do not allow them to touch or get too close.
