Directions

Serving Size: 16 donuts and donut holes

  • Donuts
  • Cream butter, sugar and orange zest on high speed of electric mixer.
  • Beat in orange juice, sour cream, and then the eggs, one at a time.
  • Combine dry ingredients in a separate bowl, then beat them into the creamed mixture alternately with evaporated milk.
  • 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.
  • Remove the air fryer basket, then preheat the air fryer to 350°F (180°C).
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Spray or brush the air fryer basket with the high heat oil, then place donuts in the basket.
  • 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.
  • Cool donuts and donut holes.
  • Glaze
  • Combine all ingredients in a small bowl with an electric mixer. Beat until smooth.
  • 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.
