Directions
Donuts
Step 1:
Cream butter, sugar and orange zest on high speed of electric mixer.
Step 2:
Beat in orange juice, sour cream, and then the eggs, one at a time.
Step 3:
Combine dry ingredients in a separate bowl, then beat them into the creamed mixture alternately with evaporated milk.
Step 4:
Turn out the mixture onto a well-floured, clean surface. Add more flour to make the dough less sticky as needed and gently knead it until the donut dough comes together in a ball.
Step 5:
Remove the air fryer basket, then preheat the air fryer to 350°F (180°C).
Step 6:
With a floured rolling pin, roll the dough to 1/4" (0.5cm) thick. Cut the dough repeatedly with a 3" (7.5 cm) round cutter and then use 3/4" donut hole cutter to make hole in centre of each circle.
Step 7:
Spray or brush each donut and donut hole with high heat oil. Flip the donuts and donut hole. Spray or brush the other sides with oil as well.
Step 8:
Spray or brush the air fryer basket with the high heat oil, then place donuts in the basket.
Step 9:
Air fry the donuts for 6-7 minutes, flipping halfway through and until golden brown in colour. Repeat with the donut holes, air frying for 4-5 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Step 10:
Cool donuts and donut holes.
Glaze
Step 11:
Combine all ingredients in a small bowl with an electric mixer. Beat until smooth.
Step 12:
Dip the top side of the cooled donuts and donut holes in the glaze or use a knife to spread the glaze on top, then enjoy every bite. Top with toppings and enjoy every bite.
