I have never made donut in my kitchen as I do not do deep frying. However, I decided to give donut-making a try after seeing it can be baked in an oven or air fryer. I was delighted the result of my first batch of air-fryer baked donuts was astounding π
My recipe gave a small quantity of 4 small donuts just nice for a family of four. The dough was quite small, so you can hand knead the dough without using a kitchen mixerπ✌
