🛒 Ingredients You’ll Need
- 140 g (1 cup) self-raising flour 🌾
- 140 g (5 oz) sweetened Greek yogurt 🥛
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar 🍚
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 🥄
- Optional: Melted chocolate for drizzling 🍫
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour and yogurt. Stir until a soft dough forms. 🥣
- Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently with your hands until smooth, ensuring there are no dry patches of flour. If the dough feels sticky, rub a little oil on your hands to help manage the dough without sticking. ✋
- Divide the dough into two portions and roll each portion into a long log, about 1-inch thick. 🧱
- Using a dough scraper or knife, cut the dough into small pieces, roughly weighing 8-12g each. Gently roll each piece between your palms to form smooth doughnut balls. ⚪
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (180°C) for about 5 minutes. 🔥
- Lightly brush the air fryer basket with oil to prevent sticking. 🧴
- Toss the doughnuts in melted butter and place them in the basket, leaving space between each doughnut as they will expand while cooking. 🥧
- Air fry for 5 minutes, or until puffed and golden (note: they may not brown evenly, which is normal for air frying). ⏱️
- While the doughnuts are still warm, coat them in melted butter, then immediately roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to ensure the sugar sticks perfectly. 🍯
- Enjoy these light and fluffy doughnuts as they are, or dip them in melted chocolate for an extra indulgent treat! 😋
