Easy and elegant air-fried braided doughnuts.
Ingredients:
  • 500.00 ml plain flour
  • 8.00 gm baking powder
  • 2.40 gm salt
  • 50g cold unsalted butter, chopped, plus extra melted to brush
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup milk
  • Oil spray
  • ½ cup dessicated coconut
  • 40.00 gm caster sugar
  • 645.00 gm caster sugar
  • 500.00 gm water
  • 5cm piece ginger, sliced
  • 1 cinnamon quill
  • 1 vanilla bean, split
  • 1 lemon, juiced
Instructions:
  • To make the syrup, blend sugar, ginger, cinnamon, and 2 cups (500ml) water in a pan over medium heat. Simmer while stirring until sugar melts, then cook for 2-3 minutes until aromatic. Remove from heat, cool down, combine with lemon juice, and refrigerate for a minimum of 3 hours until cold.
  • To make the dough, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and chopped butter in a bowl. Use your fingers to rub the mixture together until you achieve very fine crumbs. Add the egg and milk, and mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5 minutes, then wrap it in oiled baking paper and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a 7mm thick rectangle measuring roughly 25cm x 35cm. Trim the edges and cut the dough into 10cm x 5cm rectangles. Make 3 lengthwise cuts in each rectangle, leaving a 1cm border at one end. Plait the 3 strips together and pinch the end to seal.
  • Preheat your Westinghouse Multifunction Oven to 200 degrees on Air Fry mode. Brush the doughnuts with butter and spray with oil. Place them on a rack and bake for 15 minutes or until dark golden. Take them out of the oven and quickly soak in syrup for 1 minute. Drain and sprinkle with coconut. Serve with extra syrup and coconut on top.
