Ingredients

12

12 servings

  • all purpose flour, for dusting
  • 2 packages frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 cup vanilla frosting
  • 1 tablespoon whole milk

Instructions

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Lay a puff pastry sheet flat on a lightly floured surface. Use a pastry brush to cover the sheet completely with the beaten egg. Fold the sheet into thirds along the creases, like a letter, and place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining 3 sheets of puff pastry. Refrigerate until stiff and completely chilled, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (180°C) for 20 minutes. Set a wire rack over a baking sheet.
  • Remove the puff pastry from the refrigerator and use a 3-inch round cutter to cut out 12 rounds, 3 per sheet. Use a 1-inch round cutter to cut out the center of each pastry round. Remove and discard the scraps, or air fry for chef’s snacks.
  • Working in batches, place the donuts in the air fryer, spacing 1 inch apart, and cook until the donuts have puffed completely and are golden brown all over, about 15 minutes. Transfer to the wire rack.
  • Make the icing: In a medium bowl, stir together the frosting and milk until smooth. Transfer the mixture to a small piping bag and cut a hole in the tip. Pipe the icing on the top of the donuts.
  • Enjoy!
