Blueberry Donuts In Air Fryer Food

AIR-FRYER DOUGHNUTS

Steps:

• Combine the milk, melted butter, yeast, 1 tsp of the sugar and the vanilla extract in the bowl of a stand mixer. Leave for 8-10 mins for the yeast to activate.
• In a separate bowl, combine the remaining sugar, flour, ½ tsp salt and the cinnamon, if using. Mix the beaten egg into the milk mixture, then fold in the dry ingredients. Knead with a dough hook on a medium speed for 5-8 mins until the dough is smooth and elastic. You can also knead by hand for 10-12 mins, until smooth. It's a very sticky dough, so be patient with it.
• Transfer to a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean tea towel and leave in a warm place for 1 hr 30 mins until the dough has doubled in size. Tip the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll out to around 1.5cm thick. Cut out your doughnuts using a doughnut cutter or two cutters (1 x 7.5cm and 1 x 2.5cm for the middle). Put the doughnuts on a lined baking sheet, along with the doughnut centres, if you like, and cover with a clean tea towel. Leave to rise for 40 mins or overnight in the fridge (the doughnuts will hold their shape better if proved in the fridge).
• When ready to cook, place 2-3 doughnuts (and their centres, if keeping) in the air-fryer basket and cook at 180C for 5-6 mins, following manufacturer's instructions, until golden. (Bear in mind that some air fryers generate more intense heat, so keep checking to make sure the doughnuts don't burn.) Remove from the basket and leave to cool on a wire rack while you cook the remaining doughnuts. You can place a sheet of baking parchment at the bottom of your basket if you're worried about the doughnuts sticking and to prevent indents from the basket forming on the doughnuts.
• While the final batch is cooking, sift the icing sugar into a bowl and stir in the milk and vanilla extract. When the doughnuts have cooled, dip the top of each one in the glaze. Leave on the wire rack for the glaze to set. Best eaten on the day but will keep for up to 24 hours in an airtight container.

AIR FRYER BLUEBERRY CHIMICHANGAS

Steps:

• Combine Neufchatel cheese, sour cream, sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl and beat with an electric hand mixer. Carefully fold in blueberries.
• Heat tortillas in a large skillet or directly on the grates of a gas stove until soft and pliable. Place 1/4 cup blueberry mixture down the center of each tortilla. Fold top and bottom of tortillas over the filling, then roll each into a burrito shape. Mist with avocado oil and place in the basket of an air fryer.
• Cook chimichangas in the air fryer at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) until golden brown, 4 to 6 minutes. Flip each chimichanga over, mist with cooking spray, and air fry until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes more. Let cool slightly.
• Mix sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl. Spray each chimichanga with avocado oil and roll in cinnamon sugar.

BLUEBERRY DONUTS IN AIR FRYER

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, combine Self Raising Flour, Baking Powder, Kosher Salt, Granulated Sugar, and Lemon Juice. Combine everything to make a dough. Gradually stir in the Blueberries with the Dough.
• Scoop 1 tbsp of the dough and roll it between your palms and elongate it lengthwise. As you elongate the dough, join the ends to make a ring-like shape that resembles a donut. Alternatively, you can roll the donut dough to about 1-inch thickness and use a donut cutter or two different sized ( 1 large and 1 small) cookie cutter to cut out the Donuts.
• Place the Donuts in the Air Fryer basket. Brush Butter on top of the donuts. Cook @350F or 180C for 10-minutes.
• Combine Granulated Sugar, Blueberries, and Heavy Cream in a bowl. If you are using Fresh Blueberries, then blend them along with sugar and heavy cream in the food processor and then glaze over the donuts.
• Garnish the Blueberry Donuts with lemon zest and serve.
