Method
Make the Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour and yogurt. Stir until a soft dough forms.
- Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently with your hands until smooth, ensuring there are no dry patches of flour. If the dough feels sticky, rub a little oil on your hands to help manage the dough without sticking.
Shape the Doughnuts:
- Divide the dough into two portions and roll each portion into a long log, about 1-inch thick.
- Using a dough scraper or knife, cut the dough into small pieces, roughly weighing 8-12g each. Gently roll each piece between your palms to form smooth doughnut balls.
Air Fry the Doughnuts:
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (180°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Lightly brush the air fryer basket with oil to prevent sticking.
- Toss the doughnuts in melted butter and place them in the basket, leaving space between each doughnut as they will expand while cooking.
- Air fry for 5 minutes, or until puffed and golden (note: they may not brown evenly, which is normal for air frying).
Finish with Cinnamon Sugar:
- While the doughnuts are still warm, coat them in melted butter, then immediately roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to ensure the sugar sticks perfectly.
Serve:
- Enjoy these light and fluffy doughnuts as they are, or dip them in melted chocolate for an extra indulgent treat!
Notes
- Do not over knead the dough or add too much flour when kneading, it won’t be as fluffy!
- If you are baking in the oven, bake them at 350°F (180°C) for 10-12 minutes, then coat in melted butter and cinnamon sugar for a similar result.
