These homemade Cosori air fryer doughnuts are soft and fluffy and overall delicious!
Sure, you could stick to visiting your favourite doughnut shop, but imagine the satisfaction of sinking your teeth into a warm, freshly-made doughnut you crafted in your kitchen—irresistible, right?
This version adds more intrigue and excitement to encourage readers to continue exploring the idea of making their doughnuts. Let's go!
The recipe we share today is one of our favourite Cosori air fryer Doughnut recipes. They taste just like real doughnuts and have a dough similar to that used for deep-fried doughnuts.
Making these Cosori air fryer doughnut recipes is easy. They will look just like the deep-fried ones you find in your favourite doughnut shop. The secret is the glaze. It adds sweetness while keeping the doughnuts soft.
Here are our easy step-by-step instructions.
You will need the following for the dough:
Ingredients
250 ml milk, lukewarm (about 100°F)°
2 1/2 tsp active dry yeast, or instant yeast
50 g granulated sugar, plus 1 tsp
1/2 tsp salt
1 egg
60 g unsalted butter, melted
375 g all-purpose flour
Oil Spray. Coconut oil works best
Start with the yeast dough. Activate the yeast by sprinkling it over lukewarm milk and a little bit of sugar. Stir gently.
Let this mixture sit for about ten minutes. You should start seeing little yeast particles popping. By now, the mixture should be frothy and smell like yeast. If after 15 minutes nothing has happened, it probably means your yeast is no longer active, and you need to start over. Either the milk was too cold or too warm.
Add the remaining dough ingredients and knead until elastic, smooth, and pulling away from the sides of the bowl.
Spray a bowl with non-stick spray and transfer the dough to it. Gently coat the dough with oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Put it in a warm spot and let it rise until doubled.
Roll out the dough to around 1.5cm thickness on a lightly floured work surface. Cut the doughnuts to your desired size. We went for the normal size you find in every shop. Use either a biscuit shape or a glass in your kitchen and pantry.
To make doughnut holes, just use the dough that you cut out from the middle of the doughnut. A sweet doughnut glaze that dries into crackly goodness is easy and will make your air fryer doughnuts amazing!
For an amazing doughnut glaze that dries and gets crackly you will need:
6 Tbsp unsalted butter
2 cups powdered sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
4 Tbsp hot water
The resulting amount will be more than you need, making dipping them in the glaze easier. So, it is better to have too much glaze; otherwise, coating can get difficult!
As a bonus, use your air fryer to prepare some crunchy, streaky bacon. Cut it into small pieces and sprinkle it all over the doughnuts.
