Ingredients
  

For the dough

  • 265 grams water
  • 120 grams condensed milk
  • 1 tablespoon instant yeast 11 grams
  • 1 egg
  • 480 grams all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 45 grams margarine softened

For the topping

  • ¼ cup powdered milk
  • ¼ cup icing (powdered) sugar

Instructions
 

  • In your stand mixer bowl, add the water, condensed milk, and yeast. Stir to combine.
  • Let sit until foamy, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the egg.
  • Add the flour and salt.
  • Transfer the bowl to your stand mixer, and knead at Speed 1 until a shaggy dough forms.
  • Add the margarine and continue kneading until incorporated.
  • Increase to Speed 2 and continue mixing, until a smooth and elastic dough forms, 15 minutes.
  • Transfer to a well-oiled bowl. Cover and let rest, until doubled in size, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • When the dough has doubled in size, punch the dough down to let the air out.
  • Transfer to a surface generously dusted with flour.
  • Roll the dough out until 1/2 inch thick.
  • Cut into the dough using a donut cutter. Arrange in a baking sheet, allowing room for the donuts to rise.
  • Roll up the dough scraps into a ball, cover and let rest, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Roll the dough up until 1/2-inch thick and cut out more donuts. Repeat until all the dough is used up.
  • Brush the donuts with melted butter.
  • Let rise until doubled, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Preheat your air fryer for 5 minutes.
  • Carefully lower the risen donuts into your air fryer basket.
  • Air fry until golden brown, 4 minutes. Repeat for the rest of the donuts.
  • In a large bowl, add the powdered milk and icing sugar. Whisk to thoroughly combine.
  • Add the fried donuts into the milk and sugar mixture, and toss until evenly coated. Repeat with the rest of the donuts.
  • Best eaten warm.
