Equipment
- 1 Cosori Air Fryer XXL or other air fryer
- 1 Rolling Pin
- 1 mixing bowl
Ingredients
- 500 g wheat flour self-rising
- 250 ml milk warm
- 2 pieces egg yolks free range
- 4 tbsp butter melted
- 1 sachet yeast dried
- 40 g sugar
- 1 tsp rum aroma
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- 1 piece lemon zest grated
Instructions
- In warm milk, mix a tablespoon of sugar and dry yeast, then put them in a warm place for ten minutes to activate the yeast.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour with the egg yolks, melted butter, the rest of the sugar, the milk with activated yeast, the lemon zest and the vanilla and rum essences.
- Knead by hand until the dough is smooth, comes off and does not stick to the mixing bowl wall.
- Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and let it in a warm place for 30-40 minutes until the dough has doubled in volume.
- Turn it over on a work surface sprinkled with flour and spread it with a rolling pin until it reaches a thickness of 1.5-2 centimetres (0.6-0.8 inches).
- Use a cutter or a glass, cut the dough into round shapes, and then cut the middle to get a hole.
- Cover the doughnut shapes with a kitchen towel and let them sit for another 10-15 minutes to rise again.
- Preheat the air fryer to 190 C (375F) and then place parchment paper on the bottom of the basket.
- Place the doughnut shapes on the parchment paper on a single level, leaving the distance between them.
- Bake the doughnuts for four minutes, turn them on the other side and bake for another four minutes until they become a golden colour.
- While they are still hot, roll the doughnuts in powdered sugar and continue with the rest of the dough.
- Serve the doughnuts warm, only with powdered sugar or soaked in strawberry or peach jam.
Notes
You can use both dry and fresh yeast.
You can also bake without parchment paper but grease or spray a little oil in the basket.
