Ingredients
- butter - 125 g (softened)
- vanilla extract - watch the video to see (a small tip of teaspoon)
- granulated sugar - 135 g
- eggs - 2 (110 g total) (at room temperature)
- all-purpose flour (00 flour) - 265 g
- instant yeast for air fryer bread (Pane degli Angeli) - 13 g (sifted directly into the bowl)
- salt - 1 pinch (a pinch)
- milk - 135 g (at room temperature)
- raisins - 70 g (soaked)
- candied orange - 70 g
- almond slices - 30 g (for decoration)
- sprinkles - to taste (for decoration)
Instructions
- Prepare butter mixture: Leave butter out of the fridge for at least 1 hour to soften. Combine softened butter with granulated sugar and vanilla extract. Beat with electric whisks until creamy and fluffy.
- Add eggs: Add eggs one at a time, at room temperature, while continuing to whisk to keep ingredients well combined.
- Add dry ingredients: Sift flour and instant yeast directly into the bowl with the mixture. Add a pinch of salt. Whisk again to incorporate the dry ingredients.
- Add milk: Slowly pour in the milk at room temperature while mixing to soften the dough. The mixture should become soft and compact.
- Add fruits: Fold in the soaked raisins and candied orange pieces using a spatula.
- Fill muffin cups: Transfer the batter into a disposable piping bag (or use a spoon) and fill paper muffin cups about two-thirds full. Place cups in a muffin tray.
- Decorate and bake: Sprinkle the tops with sprinkles and almond slices. Bake in the air fryer at 160°C (320°F) for 15 minutes in static mode.
- Serve: Remove from air fryer and serve warm or at room temperature.
