Three ingredient air fyer doughnuts that are on the plate in minutes
A Scots mum has shared a recipe for three ingredient air fryer doughnuts which take minutes to make and are a great treat for the whole family. The doughnut doughballs are made with flour, yoghurt and vanilla essence, items many will already have in the kitchen.
Ailsa, from Inverness, who posts on TikTok under @familymealswithailsa first shared the recipe in 2023 when the simple treats video clocked up 2.4 million views on the social media platform. And this week she recreated the viral recipe once again for her 94.7 thousand followers.
She said: "Let's recreate my most viral video doing the three ingredient viral doughnuts."
The list of ingredients are 150g flour, 200g Greek yoghurt and vanilla essence. And that's all you need to make the doughy delicacies. Ailsa added: "The last time I did this video it hit 2.4 million."
She goes on to combine the three ingredients in a large bowl before mixing them all together, with a little help from her daughter.
As it begins to form a doughy consistency, she then advises to use your hands to 'bring it all together'.
After sprinkling flour on her work surface, Ailsa continues to knead the dough. She said: "Then we are going to put it into little balls".
She then forms the dough into small dough ball shapes and adds: "They're now going to go into the air fryer at 180C for six to eight minutes."
While the doughnuts are cooking she said: "While they're in the air fryer, in a bowl I'm going to mix together some sugar and cinnamon. And in the other bowl we are going to melt off some butter."
Once removing the dough balls from the air fryer, she then dips them into the butter before rolling them in the sugar and cinnamon mix.

The final step is to melt some chocolate in a mug for dipping.
Ailsa said: "And there we have it, our three ingredient air fryer doughnuts."
She did however concede that they have a few more than three ingredients, saying: "Although they're not really three ingredient anymore because there's the butter, the sugar and the cinnamon so I would really say that that was six."
After a positive taste test from her daughter and husband she added: "Well, the whole gang approves so give it a try."
Followers agreed. One said: "Those look delicious," to which Ailsa replied: "So good!!". Another added: "Well done guys, they look amazing."
One asked about using zero per cent fat Greek yoghurt to which Ailsa replied: "That's what I used," and another asked what type of flour to use. Ailsa said: "Just any self raising flour."
And she told another fan to use the air fryer setting on the gadget instead of bake setting.

New book marks 30 years of Pride in Scotland with powerful stories from 14 writers
Fourteen writers reflect on queer experiences across Scotland through stories, images and writing in English, Scots and Gaelic A powerful new anthology exploring the places that shape Scotland's queer history is set to be published by Historic Environment Scotland (HES). Titled 'who will be remembered here', out on Thursday August 14 2025, brings together 14 writers reflecting on the spaces and environments across the country that have defined their personal and collective queer experiences. From theatres and amusement arcades to remote hillsides and libraries, the book spans both natural and built landscapes, reimagining them through a queer lens. Curated by playwright Lewis Hetherington and visual artist CJ Mahony, the collection features writing in English, Scots and Gaelic, accompanied by archive images from the HES collection. It is now available to pre-order online for £16.99 and will be available through and all major bookshops. The list of contributors includes acclaimed names such as Ali Smith, Damian Barr, Ink Asher Hemp, Mae Diansangu, Ashley Douglas, Amanda Thomson, Jeff Meek, Rona Munro, MJ Deans, Louise Welsh, Ever Dundas and Johnny McKnight. Hetherington and Mahony also contribute original pieces to the volume. Released during a significant year for Scotland's LGBTQ+ community, the book marks three decades since the country's first major Pride event in 1995. However, as the curators note, queer histories in Scotland are far older, even if they have largely gone unrecorded. 'who will be remembered here is an archive for the future, sharing the stories of queer people living now,' said Hetherington and Mahony. 'Also, it's an acknowledgement of the queer people who came before us, whose voices were not preserved for future generations. "At a moment in time when queer rights are increasingly contested, it feels more important than ever to document and celebrate these stories. "We're so grateful to all the authors for their openness and generosity in sharing their personal stories with such compelling and beautiful pieces of writing. "It's been an honour to commission and contribute to this rich, tender and nuanced collection and gives people the chance to connect to the vivid and diverse intersection of people who make up Scotland's past, present and future.' Neil Gregory, Head of Outreach at HES, described the anthology as a vital step in preserving Scotland's underrepresented queer heritage. 'We're thrilled to have been able to bring so many fantastic voices together in this anthology. Despite queer history being a vital facet of our intangible cultural heritage, there is still a dearth of records and stories around these communities. "My hope for who will be remembered here is that this beautiful collection of stories can be added to the canon of Scotland's queer heritage.' The project builds on an earlier initiative of the same name, originally developed as a film series curated by Mahony and Hetherington. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

These short films are being screened throughout August as part of the Edinburgh Art Festival, offering another creative medium through which to explore Scotland's LGBTQ+ legacy. An in-person event for who will be remembered here will also take place on Sunday, August 17, at the Edinburgh International Book Festival. The curators will be joined by contributors Mae Diansangu and Harry Josephine Giles for a panel discussion reflecting on how we remember queer stories and what it means to preserve these memories for future generations.

Expert uses 93p supermarket buy to fix holiday hair disasters
Celebrity hairstylist Phil Smith reveals his unusual hack for treating blonde hair that's gone brassy in the sun or green from too much chlorine... Sun, sea, swimming pool s - why are all the best bits of summer the worst for your hair? Celebrity hairdresser Phil Smith, who has tended the locks of Tess Daly and Emily Blunt, says he always sees a surge in clients arriving at his salon worrying about frizzing, colour fade and frazzled scalps at this time of year. 'Maintaining effortless, healthy hair all summer can be a challenge - but with the right tips, tricks and products, you can protect your locks without compromising on style and quality,' he says. Don't fall for TikTok hair sunscreen hacks We've all experienced that sting in the shower after a day at the beach - the telltale sign of a sunburned scalp. But avoiding a pink parting isn't always as easy as it sounds. 'I've seen people on TikTok suggest mixing sunscreen with water in a spray bottle to mist over the scalp,' says Phil. 'Unfortunately, this just dilutes the SPF, making it far less protective. And it's a big no no if you have hair extensions too. 'If the sunscreen contains ingredients like avobenzone, it can leave rust-like stains on them,' he adds. Instead, a smarter approach is to choose a hairstyle that eliminates your parting altogether. 'Slicking your hair back into a ponytail is one option, but that can be a bit harsh and doesn't suit everyone. I recommend going for a topknot or a couple of soft buns instead. Just leave a few loose strands out for a softer, more effortless look - it's protective and super cute.' Use ketchup to boost blonde tones It's particularly tough being a blonde in summer, when colour can be left brassy and battered by pollution and UV exposure - or even go green after contact with chlorine. 'One hair hack I particularly love, because it shocks people that it works, is using tomato ketchup to reverse green tinges,' says Phil. 'Apply a tablespoon to lengths and wait up to 30 minutes before rinsing. The acid in the tomatoes and vinegar break down the copper build-up that causes the discolouration, restoring the blonde tones you love. If you prefer results in seconds rather than smelling like you belong in a burger for half an hour, when you get back from your sunshine break, he suggests grabbing a bottle of Phil Smith Professional Haircare Blonde Toning Shampoo (£14 each; ), which uses amino acid rich violet rice extract to have you back to your 'natural' colour in the time it takes to shampoo and rinse.' Shower before the pool to protect against chlorine There's nothing better than diving into a cool pool on a hot day, but chlorinated water can leave hair dry, brittle and weak. The good news? A little prep goes a long way. 'Our hair is porous, but it can only absorb so much water at once,' says Phil. 'If you want to limit how much chlorine your hair soaks up, wet your hair with fresh water before swimming. "Take a quick shower or, if you're at the beach, keep a refillable bottle of tap water handy so you can rinse before taking the plunge.' Phil also advises against swimming with your hair down. 'I always tell my clients to apply a leave-in conditioner and then tie hair up in a bun to shield it,' he says. Use the right towel on damp locks Wet hair is much weaker and more prone to breakage than dry strands, so how you care for it after a swim is just as crucial as before. 'Keep a soft microfibre towel like the Dock & Bay Hair Wrap (£15; in your beach bag so you aren't tempted to rough dry with an abrasive beach towel, which will damage the cuticle and leave you with a halo of frizz,' says Phil. If you want to comb out knots post-swim, he advises buying a wet brush. 'The MDLondon Vent Brush (£13; is perfect,' says Phil. 'Start detangling from the ends and work upwards to avoid breakage and minimise discomfort. Add a pump of Phil Smith Professional Haircare Miracle Primer (£14; at the same time, with hyaluronic acid to fight humidity-induced frizz and plant-based hemisqualane to smooth and detangle. Get your roots done once you've returned home Everyone wants their hair to look amazing in their holiday photos, but if your sunshine getaway happens to fall around the time you're due to see your colourist, it might be worth delaying that appointment. 'UV rays break down dye pigment molecules, so when you're on a sun-soaked holiday it's almost impossible to avoid fading and dullness - unless you spend the entire trip under a giant hat,' says Phil. 'While no one wants to skip a root touch-up to cover greys, if you can, I recommend stretching the time between appointments and scheduling your session for after you return home. Getting your hair professionally coloured is an investment - this way, your colour stays fresher for longer and you avoid paying for salon results that can't last.'

Oasis are supersonic as Gallagher brothers blow Scotland away for first time since '09
Murrayfield Stadium was electric as the Manchester music legends played their first Scottish show on their reunion tour. It was the reunion many thought would never happen but the Oasis 25 tour was well worth the wait and more. Eleven months after tickets were snapped up, the eagerly awaited Oasis bandwagon rolled into Scotland as the Gallagher brothers kicked off the first of three sell-out shows at Edinburgh's Murrayfield stadium - and the fans went absolutely 'mad for it'. Liam, 52, and Noel, 58, received a rapturous welcome last night as they played their first Scottish date in 16 years. The delighted sell-out crowd let out a supersonic roar as the band took to the stage at the home of Scottish rugby and from there the stage was set. Liam walked onstage, past a cardboard cutout of Pep Guardiola. He hugged his big brother before blasting into the opening song Hello with Noel making happy and sad faces to match the lyrics with Liam singing, "Hello, it's good to be back." They followed with Acquiesce and the crowd went wild then came hit after hit including Morning Glory and Some Might Say. Taking note of the audience's enthusiasm, Liam balanced his half-moon shaped tambourine in his head. The rockers then launched into a hit-packed set opening with Hello before following up with Acquiesce and Morning Glory. And it was favourite upon favourite with the crowd singing along to classics such as Roll With It and Wonderwall. The famous brothers had not performed in Scotland since a public feud that led to the band's break-up in 2009. But despite Noel and Liam hurling a plethora of insults at each other in the intervening years, there appeared to be no animosity as the older and wiser duo smiled and cracked jokes onstage. The aggro was reserved for the city council with an angry Liam hitting out at the city council over called comments made about Oasis fans at a meeting this week. Standing side by side during the show, they delivered old-school Oasis classics such as Bring It On Down, Cigarettes & Alcohol and Fade Away. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

The fans who snapped up their tickets and packed into the stadium had waited almost a year to hear their favourite tunes. Some in attendance paid well over the face value due to a controversial 'dynamic pricing' system employed by Ticketmaster when tickets went on sale that led to criticism of the band. Cynics claim enormous payday that will run into tens of millions of pounds by the time the tour is over and that spurred the brothers on to heal the rift. Whatever the reasons for the pair burying the hatched to play the eagerly anticipated reunion tour fans were happy to see them able to perform together without incident. Earlier the packed stadium heard sets from Cast and Richard Ashcroft but there was no question who they had come to see. Liam wandered off stage for a break, while Noel performed his acoustic version of Talk Tonight and followed that up with Half The World Away. Others were reduced to tears as they watched their idols belt out songs from their impressive back catalogue. So popular are the band's live shows in Scotland that hundreds of fans unable to get tickets for the concert in the capital turned up to listen from outside the stadium. Fans had travelled from all over the world to see their idols. Ayoung Jo, 28, an office worker from South Korea, said: "This is my first time here. I came with friends to see Oasis. I had to try to get a ticket for 11 hours. "It was a long time but I was luckily got three tickets. The Oasis reunion is amazing. My favourite song is Live Forever." Among fans who came from around the world were lucky enough to snap up gold-dust tickets to see their idols delivering a set of classic Oasis tunes spanning two hours was Karen Little, 38, from Boston, USA, who hailed the gig as 'truly epic'. She said: 'I couldn't wait to see the band in America and was stunned when I managed to get tickets online. Oasis are truly epic, and Liam's voice gets better with age. The show is old school rock and roll so I'm in heaven at being here to witness it.' It was only fitting that Oasis included Scotland in their UK and Ireland dates. The band were discovered by Scots label boss Alan McGee back in 1993 when they forced their way onto foot of an indie bill at Glasgow's King Tut's venue. The complete unknowns were spotted by the Glaswegian music mogul who signed the Manchester band to his Creation record label. Many concert-goers immediately took to social media as they watched the show to praise Oasis for their performance in fan Cristina Soto, 41, an HR manager who now lives in Texas, travelled with her husband Carlos to see the show after snapping up a pair of briefs back home. Cristina said: "When they announced the concert I tried to get tickets. It took three and a half hours and I got tickets for this location. We have turned this into a vacation and will be seeing Glasgow too. I have been a fan since my teenage years abs saw the band when they last played in Mexico. "I'm looking forward to hearing the songs and feeling the energy. Oasis are amazing and I'm surprised to see so many young people." Earlier, Oasis fans got a special treat as Oasis performed an early sound check which could be heard blasting well beyond the stadium confines at lunchtime including Some Might Say, Half The World Away and Champagne Supernova. Student Peter Grant, 28, who could hear the band playing Some Might Say, said: "I live on North Frederick Street and I'm getting a free concert. I can hear them sound checking. I'm mad for it." But the experience was nothing compared to seeing and hearing the band's official gig in the flesh. The band kept some of the best for last including Live Forever, The Masterplan, Don't Look Back In Anger and The Masterplan before closing with one of the all-time Oasis greats... Champagne Supernova. Oasis will return to Murrayfield for two more shows on Saturday and Tuesday before the band wrap up their Uk and Ireland tour in Dublin.
