An air fryer is a small appliance that cooks by circulating hot air around the food. This means that you can cook foods like fries, chicken, and fish without oil or butter. Air fryers are also a great way to cook healthier meals since they don’t add any extra fat or calories to your food.

How To Store

For best results do not decorate the donuts until you are ready to serve them. I often make the donuts ahead of time, which is great if serving at a party or get-together.

Keep the donuts in the refrigerator, until ready to decorate. Once they are fully decorated, you are best to serve with 1 to 2 hours.
