Notes
Air Fryer Instructions:
Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). If your air fryer requires preheating, this step is crucial for even cooking.
Place the donut batter into donut molds or shape them if you’re using free-form. Carefully place them in the air fryer basket.
Air fry for about 8-10 minutes, or until the donuts are golden and cooked through. The exact time may vary depending on your air fryer model, so it's good to check them around the 8-minute mark.
