Equipment

Donut Cutter & 3.5 inch Biscuit Cutter (Set of 2)
Measuring Cups and Spoons Set
Deluxe Air Fryer and Oven

Ingredients

½ Cup(s) granulated white sugar for the dough
2 ½ T room temp butter
2 Egg yolks
2 ¼ Cup(s) of All-purpose flour
1 ½ tsp of Baking powder
¼ Cup(s) of Brown sugar
¾ Cup(s) of Sour cream

Coating

¼ Cup(s) granulated white sugar for the coating
1 tsp of Pumpkin pie spice
1 ½ tsp Cinnamon
2 tbsp melted butter divided

Instructions

Mix the 1/2 cup of white sugar and the room temperature butter in a bowl until crumbly. Add the egg yolks and stir.
In a different bowl, stir together the flour and baking powder. Add 1/3 of the flour mixture, the brown sugar and half of the sour cream to the egg mixture and stir. Mix in the rest of the flour and sour cream, then put the dough in the fridge.
For the coating, mix the 1/4 cup of white sugar, pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon in a shallow bowl.
Preheat your air fryer to 350 degrees.
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface until it's about 3/4" thick. Cut out six large circles with a 3-inch cutter, then cut holes in the middle with a 1-inch cutter (or use a donut cutter to do both at once).
Brush half of the melted butter on both sides of the donuts.
Put half of them in the air fryer and cook for 8 minutes. Take them out, brush with the rest of the melted butter and dip in the pumpkin spice sugar right away. Repeat with the remaining donuts and the donut holes.

Notes

Makes 6 donuts and 6 donut holes. Air fryers vary, so check the first batch a minute or two early.
