For a richer flavor, try using brown butter instead of regular melted butter. Experiment with different spice combinations in the sugar mixture, such as nutmeg or cardamom. If you don't have fruit jam on hand, these are also delicious with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk. Store any leftover donut sticks in an airtight container at room temperature, but they are best enjoyed fresh. To prevent sticking, lightly grease the air fryer basket with cooking spray before adding the dough strips.
