1. Put the flour, sugar, yeast, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg into a large
mixing bowl. Whisk to combine.
2. Whisk the egg, buttermilk, and vanilla together, and then slowly
combine with the flour mixture (use your hands or a wooden spoon).
Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour, and transfer the dough to
the work surface, dusting the dough lightly with flour. Knead the
dough, adding flour as necessary 1 teaspoon at a time to keep the
dough from sticking to your hands. Add the butter, 1 piece at a time,
until all the butter has been incorporated into the dough. Continue
adding flour 1 teaspoon at a time to keep the dough from sticking to
your hands. The dough should be tender and smooth, and when
pulled should not break apart.
3. Form the dough into a ball. Put in a clean mixing bowl, cover with
a damp towel or plastic wrap, and allow to rise for 1 hour. After 1
hour, gently turn the dough over, and press it down (do not punch).
Cover and allow to rest for another hour.
4. On a lightly floured surface, divide the dough into 16 pieces. Working
with one piece at a time and keeping the others covered loosely with
plastic wrap, roll between your hands to form into a small, smooth
ball. Once each ball is rolled, cover loosely with plastic wrap.
5. Once 8 balls of dough have been formed, transfer to the AirFryer
basket.
6. Place basket in the AirFryer. Select Bake and set the time to 8 minutes and the temperature to 350°F. Press Start/Stop. Doughnuts bites
are done when they are slightly browned. Repeat with the remaining
dough.
7. Once each batch of doughnut bites is finished and still warm, brush
with butter on all sides, and then gently toss in the cinnamon sugar.
Serve immediately
