\n\u25a2 Freestanding mixer with hook attachment
\n\u25a2 large baking sheet
\n\u25a2 large mixing bowl
\n\u25a2 doughnut cutter or pastry cutting rings
\n\u25a2 pastry brush<\/p>\n
\nFor the dough:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
\n\u25a2 50 g caster sugar
\n\u25a2 \u00bd teaspoon salt
\n\u25a2 \u00bd teaspoon ground nutmeg
\n\u25a2 140 ml whole milk
\n\u25a2 1 large egg
\n\u25a2 14 g (one packet) fast-action dry yeast
\n\u25a2 100 g butter, melted<\/p>\n
\n\u25a2 10 g ground cinnamon<\/p>\n
\nIncrease the speed to medium and mix for 3-5 minutes, until the dough no longer sticks to the sides of the bowl. If kneading by hand, transfer the dough onto clean work surface and knead for 10-15 minutes until you have smooth and elastic dough.
\nTransfer the dough into lightly greased bowl, cover and let it rest until it has doubled in size, about 2 hours. Meanwhile, line the large baking sheet with some baking parchment.
\nRemove the dough from the bowl into a clean work surface dusted with flour. Use the rolling pin and roll the dough to about 1 inch thickness (do not roll the dough too thin as it will make flat doughnuts). Cut the doughnuts shapes using the doughnut cutter or pastry cutting rings. Transfer the doughnuts (including the doughnuts holes\/ middles if you would like) into the baking sheet lined with the baking parchment and brush them with melted butter. Cover with clean tea towel or loose clingfilm and let them rest for 45 minutes.
\nHeat an air fryer to 180\u00b0C and lightly grease the frying basket\/ plate with some oil or melted butter. Carefully transfer the doughnuts into the basket (2-4 doughnuts at a time, depending on the size of your frying basket) and fry for 3- 5 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the basket and repeat with the remaining doughnuts.
\nIn a large bowl, combine the caster sugar and ground cinnamon and mix well to combine. Brush still warm doughnuts with the remaining melted butter, and toss each doughnut in cinnamon sugar. Enjoy!<\/p>\n
\nPreheat your air fryer according to the manufacturer instructions.
\nFry 2-4 doughnuts at a time, depending on the size of your frying basket. Check the doughnuts after 2-3 minutes to make sure they are not browning too quickly.
\nBrush the cooked doughnuts with melted butter while they are still warm, then toss into cinnamon sugar or add your choice of glaze\/ topping.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
