Air Fryer Doughnut Holes With Chocolate Sauce Recipes

AIR FRYER DOUGHNUT HOLES WITH CHOCOLATE SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine the milk, sugar, and yeast in a large bowl. Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes, or until the yeast becomes foamy on top. If your yeast doesn't foam, it's likely dead. Toss it and try again with a fresh packet.
• Add the melted butter, egg, and vanilla. Whisk to combine.
• Add the flour and cinnamon and stir until a shaggy dough forms.
• Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead gently until a smooth dough forms-- about 2-3 minutes.
• Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and set it in a warm spot to rise until doubled in size-- about 2 hours.
• Once the dough has risen, place it on a lightly floured surface (don't punch it down) and cut it into 20 small pieces. Shape the dough into balls and place them on a baking sheet to rise for another 45 minutes.
• Once the dough has risen slightly, place a few doughnut holes in the air fryer, give them a light mist/spray of oil and cook at 375F for 6-8 minutes, or until they're golden brown on the outside.
• Repeat with the remaining doughnut holes.
• **See below for coating
• Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees.
• Separate the biscuits and cut them into 4 pieces each.
• Lightly roll between your hands to reshape them into holes instead of triangles.
• Place them in the preheated air fryer basket and spray lightly with oil.
• Cook 4-5 minutes or until browned and cooked through.
• While the dough is cooking, combine the sugar and cinnamon in a paper lunch sack. You can use a plastic zip-top bag if you don't have one. Shake to combine the cinnamon and sugar.
• Once the donut holes are done cooking, give them another light spritz of oil and then immediately transfer them to the bag with the cinnamon mixture.
• Fold over the bag & give it a good shake to coat the donuts in the mixture.
• Remove from the bag and serve immediately. Do not store them in the bag as they will become soggy.
• Combine the yogurt and self-rising flour in a large bowl and work it together until it forms a ball.
• Turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 1-2 minutes to get the gluten forming so they are extra springy.
• Cut off 1" pieces and roll into balls.
• Place them in the preheated air fryer basket and spray lightly with oil.
• Cook 4-5 minutes or until browned and cooked through.

• Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a large bowl. If you like a thin coating of cinnamon sugar, roll the hot doughnuts in the cinnamon sugar immediately when they come out of the air fryer.
• If you like a thick coating of cinnamon sugar, roll the doughnut holes in melted butter before adding them to the cinnamon sugar.
• To make the chocolate sauce, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan (or the microwave) until it starts to steam.
• Add it to a small bowl with the chopped chocolate.
• Whisk until the sauce is smooth and well combined.
• Serve with warm doughnuts.

AIR FRYER DONUT HOLES WITH LEMON GLAZE

Steps:

• Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Add butter and use a fork or pastry cutter to work butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse cornmeal.
• Pour in milk and vanilla and combine until liquid is evenly distributed. Add additional milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, if dough does not come together. Knead dough for 1 to 2 minutes.
• Preheat an air fryer to 320 degrees F (160 degrees C). Lightly spray the basket with cooking spray.
• Divide dough into 12 equal portions and set 6 portions into the basket without touching. Lightly spray with cooking spray.
• Air fry for 5 minutes, lightly spray again, then fry for an additional 2 minutes. Transfer donut holes to a wire rack and repeat with remaining 6 portions.
• Stir confectioners' sugar and lemon juice together in a very small bowl until well mixed. Drizzle lemon glaze over the donut holes and serve warm.

AIR-FRYER DOUGHNUTS

Steps:

• Combine the milk, melted butter, yeast, 1 tsp of the sugar and the vanilla extract in the bowl of a stand mixer. Leave for 8-10 mins for the yeast to activate.
• In a separate bowl, combine the remaining sugar, flour, ½ tsp salt and the cinnamon, if using. Mix the beaten egg into the milk mixture, then fold in the dry ingredients. Knead with a dough hook on a medium speed for 5-8 mins until the dough is smooth and elastic. You can also knead by hand for 10-12 mins, until smooth. It's a very sticky dough, so be patient with it.
• Transfer to a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean tea towel and leave in a warm place for 1 hr 30 mins until the dough has doubled in size. Tip the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll out to around 1.5cm thick. Cut out your doughnuts using a doughnut cutter or two cutters (1 x 7.5cm and 1 x 2.5cm for the middle). Put the doughnuts on a lined baking sheet, along with the doughnut centres, if you like, and cover with a clean tea towel. Leave to rise for 40 mins or overnight in the fridge (the doughnuts will hold their shape better if proved in the fridge).
• When ready to cook, place 2-3 doughnuts (and their centres, if keeping) in the air-fryer basket and cook at 180C for 5-6 mins, following manufacturer's instructions, until golden. (Bear in mind that some air fryers generate more intense heat, so keep checking to make sure the doughnuts don't burn.) Remove from the basket and leave to cool on a wire rack while you cook the remaining doughnuts. You can place a sheet of baking parchment at the bottom of your basket if you're worried about the doughnuts sticking and to prevent indents from the basket forming on the doughnuts.
• While the final batch is cooking, sift the icing sugar into a bowl and stir in the milk and vanilla extract. When the doughnuts have cooled, dip the top of each one in the glaze. Leave on the wire rack for the glaze to set. Best eaten on the day but will keep for up to 24 hours in an airtight container.
