125 ml milk lukewarm
50 g unsalted butter melted and cooled to lukewarm
7 g sachet dried fast-action yeast
60 g caster sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
275 g plain flour plus extra for dusting (optional)
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)

Steps

Stir the warm milk, melted butter, yeast, sugar, vanilla, flour, cinnamon, and beaten egg into a soft dough.
Knead the dough for 5 minutes, coat it lightly with oil, and let it rise for 20 minutes.
Roll the dough to about 1/2 inch thick and cut seven doughnuts.
Preheat the air fryer to 350 F and lightly oil the basket.
Air-fry the doughnuts in batches for 6 to 8 minutes, turning once, until golden and cooked through.
Whisk the icing sugar, milk, and vanilla, then dip the cooled doughnuts into the glaze.
