These airy New Orleans-style donuts can easily be made at home in an air fryer, using much less oil than deep-frying. You can also make donuts from this same sweet yeast dough: simply cut it into rings and fry in an air fryer at the same temperature as beignets. Dust the finished donuts with powdered sugar or drizzle with a quick glaze.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Combine the flour, granulated sugar, yeast, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Mix thoroughly. Add the egg, egg yolk, milk, butter, and vanilla and mix on low speed until smooth.
- Increase the speed to medium-high and knead until the dough forms a ball around the hook and is smooth and elastic, about 3 minutes.
- Place the dough on a floured surface and knead it lightly with your hands until it forms a smooth ball. Grease a medium bowl with melted butter and place the dough in the bowl, turning it over to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- On a lightly floured work surface, roll the dough into a square just over 25 cm (10 in). Trim the edges with a sharp knife or pizza cutter to create an even square. Cut the square in a 4 x 5 grid to create 20 rectangles. Cover the dough loosely and let it rise directly on the work surface for about 15 minutes.
- Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Add half the donuts and lightly spray with cooking spray. Fry until golden brown, about 6 minutes. Add the remaining beignets and fry them in the same manner. Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm.
