Pink Sprinkled Sourdough Doughnuts

These doughnuts were the byproduct of me feeding my sourdough starter, and it overflowing from being fed and me having roughly 16oz of starter that I had to use up. A decent portion of it went towards making these air-fried sourdough doughnuts. Yes, air-fried and sourdough-based. The idea here was that I did not want…
