– 1 ¼ cups milk – 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast – 2 eggs – ½ cup (1 stick) butter, melted and cooled – ¼ cup sugar – 1 teaspoon salt – 4 ½ to 5 ½ cups all-purpose flour For the glaze: – ½ cup butter, melted – 2 cups powdered sugar – 2 teaspoons vanilla extract – 6 tablespoons evaporated milk

Here's what you'll need

1. Heat milk in the microwave about 60 seconds until 90 degrees.Transfer to a stand mixer mixing bowl and stir in yeast until dissolved. Allow yeast to rest for 5 minutes. 2. With the paddle attachment, beat in the eggs, butter, sugar, salt, and 4 cups flour. 3. Switch the mixer to the dough hook attachment. Knead at medium speed, adding flour ¼ cup at a time until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Continue kneading at medium speed for about 3 minutes. Dough will be soft and a little sticky. 4. Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, turning once. Cover and place in a draft-free spot for 1 hour or until the dough has doubled in size. 5. Punch dough down and place on a lightly floured surface.

Directions:

6. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough to ½ inch thickness. Using round cookie cutters in two sizes, cut dough into circles and place on a parchment lined baking sheet at least 1 inch apart. Knead any scrap pieces of dough into a mound of dough and continue rolling out and cutting the doughnuts until all of the dough is used. 7. Cover the doughnuts and place in a draft-free spot for 1 hour or until the doughnuts have doubled in size. 8. Preheat air fryer to 350 degrees F. Spray basket with nonstick cooking spray. 9. Place doughnuts in basket in a single layer. Do not overlap. Spritz with oil spray. Air fry on each side for about 3 to 6 minutes (depending on the wattage of your air fryer) or until golden.
