Ingredients:

• 1 cup self-rising flour (substitute available in the description)
• 1 cup sweetened yogurt (any type, add sugar if using Greek yogurt)

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, combine the self-rising flour and yogurt until a dough forms. If the dough is sticky, use a teaspoon of oil instead of extra flour to keep it soft and supple.
2. Shape the dough into a meatloaf-like form and divide it into 2-3 pieces. Cover unused dough with plastic wrap to prevent drying.
3. Roll each piece into a long rope and cut into small donut-sized pieces, about 9-10 grams each. Roll these pieces into balls.
4. Melt some butter in a tray and toss the dough balls in the butter to coat them.
5. Preheat your air fryer to 350°F for at least 5 minutes. Grease the air fryer basket well to prevent sticking.
6. Place the dough balls in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Air fry for 4-5 minutes, depending on your air fryer.
7. After air frying, coat the donuts in more melted butter and then in cinnamon sugar.

Tips:

• For a nice color and flavor, ensure you use sweetened yogurt or add sugar to Greek yogurt.
• Keep dough balls roughly the same size to ensure even cooking.
• Preheating the air fryer helps achieve a better texture.

FAQs:

Q: Can I use regular flour instead of self-rising flour? A: Yes, you can make your own self-rising flour by adding 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt to 1 cup of all-purpose flour.

Q: What if my donuts don’t brown evenly? A:  These 2 Ingredient Air Fryer Donuts may not brown as evenly as deep-fried ones. The sugar in the yogurt helps with browning, but don’t overcook them to avoid losing their fluffiness.

Q: Can I use a different coating instead of cinnamon sugar? A: Absolutely! You can coat them with powdered sugar, chocolate glaze, or any topping you prefer.
