Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ¼ cup white sugar
• 1 teaspoon almond extract
• ½ teaspoon almond extract
• 2 cups confectioners' sugar
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• 1 ½ teaspoons bread machine yeast
• 1 cup whole milk
• nonstick cooking spray
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 3 tablespoons hot water, or more as needed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place milk, egg, almond extract, butter, flour, sugar, cinnamon, salt, and yeast in a bread machine in the order listed. Run Dough cycle. Remove dough from the machine after the cycle is done, about 90 minutes.

Step 2

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and punch it down. Roll out to about 1/2-inch thickness. Cut into shapes.

Step 3

Transfer to floured parchment paper and cover with lightly greased plastic wrap. Allow to rise for 30 minutes.

Step 4

Preheat an air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions. Spray the basket with cooking spray.

Step 5

Arrange donuts and holes in a single layer in the air fryer and spay with oil. Leave about 1/2 inch around each piece, as they will grow. Cook for 4 minutes. Repeat until all donuts and holes are cooked.

Step 6

While the first batch cooks in the air fryer, prepare the glaze: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir in confectioners' sugar and almond extract. Remove from heat. Stir in 1 tablespoon of hot water at a time until the glaze is thin, but not watery.

Step 7

Dip hot donuts in the glaze, using a fork to flip and coat each side. Cool on a wire rack over a rimmed baking sheet (they will drip and make a mess!) for 10 minutes.
