Step 1

start with combining the milk, melted butter, yeast, a teaspoon of the sugar and the vanilla extract into a large bowl and leave for 8-10 minutes for the yeast to activate.

Step 2

Then in another bowl, mix the remaining sugar, flour, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and the cinnamon.

Step 3

Mix the beaten egg into the wet mixture, then fold in the dry ingredients. Knead the dough, if using a mixer use the hook on a medium speed for 5-8 mins until the dough is smooth and elastic. Or knead by hand for 10-12 minutes, until smooth.

Step 4

Place the mix onto a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean tea towel and leave in a warm place for about 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 1.5 cm thick.

Step 5

Cut out your balls to about meat ball size, roll around in the palm of your hand to create a perfect, smooth ball. Put the balls on a lined baking sheet, and cover with a clean tea towel, you can leave to rise in the fridge overnight or leave on the side for around 45 minutes.

Step 6

Place 2-3 balls in the air fryer basket, making sure they don’t touch. You may need to do this in batches, depending on the size of your air fryer. Cook at 180C for 5-6 mins, turning halfway, or until golden. Remove from the basket and leave to cool on a wire rack while you cook the remaining doughnuts.

Step 7

Sift the icing sugar into a bowl and stir in the milk and vanilla extract. When the doughnuts have cooled, pour over the glaze making sure each one is covered. Leave on the wire rack for the glaze to set.
