Makes: 12

Preparation Time: 2 hours

Cooking Time: 8 minutes

1. Heat the milk, sugar and butter in a saucepan until the butter melts. Cool to room temperate, then whisk in the egg and salt.
2. In a separate bowl (or bowl of a stand mixer) combine the flour and yeast. Add the wet ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon (or mix with a dough hook), until the dough forms a ball. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 mins.
3. Transfer dough to a lightly greased bowl covered with a damp tea towel. Leave to rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
4. Divide dough into 12 even pieces; about 60g each. On a floured surface, roll each into a tight ball. Press your thumb through the center to make a hole. Repeat to use all the dough.
5. Transfer doughnuts to oiled baking sheets, leaving space for the doughnuts to rise. Cover with a towel and leave in a warm place until doubled in size; about 45 minutes.
6. Arrange half the doughnuts on the air fry rack and spray with oil. Slide into the middle shelf of the toaster oven. Air-fry for 3-4 minutes or until golden on top. Flip the doughnuts and cook a further 3-4 minutes, until evenly browned.
7. Combine the cinnamon and sugar in a shallow dish. Carefully remove the hot doughnuts from the toaster oven using tongs. Brush each with milk and roll in cinnamon sugar to coat. Repeat with remaining doughnuts. Enjoy!
