Ingredients
- 250g plain flour, plus extra for dusting
- 30g caster sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 large free-range egg
- 100ml buttermilk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 200g icing sugar, sifted
- 2-3 tbsp whole milk
- 3 drops pink food colouring
- 3 tbsp M&S Seedless raspberry jam
- 6 tbsp M&S Madagascan vanilla custard
Method
Step 1
Cut out 3 squares of greaseproof paper, each about 10cm wide then set aside.Step 2
Tip the flour, sugar, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and a pinch of salt into a bowl and stir to combine.Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg, buttermilk, melted butter and vanilla extract together until combined and smooth.Step 4
Using a fork, stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, bringing it together to form a sticky dough.Step 5
On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough to 1cm thick. Using an 8cm round cutter, cut out 3 circles. Then, using a 4cm cutter, cut holes in the centre of each. Brush each doughnut with a bit of vegetable oil.Step 6
Set the air fryer to 180°C and preheat for 3 mins. Once hot, add the doughnuts and cook for 5-6 mins, until lightly golden.Step 7
Transfer the cooked doughnuts to the greaseproof paper and allow to cool.Step 8
Meanwhile, make the icing. Put the icing sugar into a mixing bowl then add the milk 1 tbsp at a time, whisking until smooth between each addition, until you have a thick, dip-able icing.Step 9
Spoon 2 tbsp icing into a small piping bag and set aside.Step 10
Mix 2-3 drops of pink food colouring into the remaining icing and stir to make the desired colour. Transfer the icing to a shallow bowl.Step 11
Dip the smoothest side of the doughnut into the pink icing and lift out to create a smooth, even coating on one side, allowing any excess to drip into the bowl.Step 12
Snip a small hole in the end of the piping bag and pipe straight lines of the white icing across the doughnut, about ½ cm apart. Using a cocktail stick, gently trace the icing lines in opposite directions to create a feather effect. Repeat with the remaining doughnuts.Step 13
Serve with the raspberry jam and custard as dipping sauces.
