- Donot overcrowd the Basket - Keep some space between each donuts in the air fryer for air circulation. The hot air will allow the donuts to get baked quickly.
- Donot overknead the Dough - You donot need to overknead the Dough. Just mix until combined. You can also make the dough in a dough maker or stand mixer.
- Donot use cooking spray - This is the most common mistake while cooking in the Air Fryer. Donot use a cooking spray to grease the basket. Cooking spray has harmful chemicals which will harm your Air Fryer. Just brush the Donuts with butter and then bake in the air fryer.
