AIR FRYED DONUTS

• 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 yeast and let sit until frothy, about 8 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together flour and salt. In a large bowl, whisk together the remaining ¼ 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. 
  
• 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 the dough in an oiled bowl and cover with a clean dish towel. Let the dough rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease with cooking spray. Punch down dough, then turn onto a lightly floured work surface and roll out into a ½" thick rectangle.
• Using a doughnut cutter or 3" and 1" biscuit cutters, punch out your doughnuts.
• Knead any scraps together and punch out more doughnuts or holes. Place doughnuts and holes onto baking sheets, cover with a dish towel, and let rise again, 40 minutes to 1 hour more.
• Grease the basket of the air fryer with cooking spray and add 2 doughnuts and 2 doughnut holes at a time, making sure the doughnuts don’t touch.
• Cook at 375° for 6 minutes, until deeply golden. Place on a cooling rack and repeat with the remaining dough.
• Dip doughnuts in glaze (see below) or follow instructions for cinnamon sugar. Return to the cooling rack and let it sit for 5 minutes before serving.

Vanilla Glaze:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. 

Chocolate Glaze:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and milk.  

Cinnamon Sugar:

• In a large shallow bowl, whisk together cinnamon and sugar. Brush doughnuts with melted butter and toss in cinnamon sugar.
