Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Pastry Cream: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine gluten-free flour, sugar, and milk to create a smooth mixture. Stir continuously until it thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla extract, and transfer to a bowl. Allow to cool completely.
  2. Make Donut Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. In another bowl, beat eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth. Gradually pour wet ingredients into dry mix; stir until smooth.
  3. Preheat Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to preheat at 330°F (165°C) for about 5 minutes.
  4. Form Donuts: Fill donut molds with batter, filling them about three-quarters full.
  5. Air Fry: Place filled molds in the preheated air fryer and cook for 8-10 minutes until golden-brown.
  6. Cool and Fill: Use a piping bag to inject pastry cream into each donut.
  7. Prepare Chocolate Glaze: Melt chopped chocolate with a splash of milk in the microwave until smooth. Dip tops of donuts in glaze.
