In previous versions of QGIS I used the Intersect It plugin for drawing circles around a point with a specified radius.
However, I cannot see a way to digitise a circle around a point in QGIS 3. I have tried using the new shape digitising tools, but these do not allow to centre the circle on a point (at least, not that I can see).
I have seen suggestions about buffering the points by a certain distance, but this seems quite a long-winded way of merely drawing a shape.
Any suggestions?

You can use the Shape Digitizing Toolbar's "Add Circle by a Centre Point and Another Point" tool combined with the Advanced Digitizing tool's distance option.
But to be honest I don't find buffering to be long winded at all and I usually go with that method.
