🧑🏻🍳 Baker's notes
⭐ Expert Tip: If you don't have a small, round cookie cutter you can poke a hole in the center with the handle of a wooden spoon or your finger.
- Brush the air fryer basket with a little oil so that the donuts do not stick.
- Cooking time can vary so check the donuts for doneness a couple of times.
- Make sure that you brush the donuts with butter while they are fresh out of the air fryer.
- Serve these warm for the best results. Leftover donuts get stale really fast but you can warm them in the microwave to freshen them up.
💡Great Idea: Make a donut bar. Make some glaze with melted chocolate chips, a confectioners glaze, or melt a couple of different kinds of canned frosting. Put out bowls of chopped nuts, sprinkles, and mini-m&ms. Let guests make their own flavor combinations.
✨ FAQs
