Air Fryer Donut Holes With Lemon Glaze
Description
Lemon-glazed air fryer donut holes are a sweet treat without the guilt and excess oil.
Ingredients
•
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
•
2 tablespoons white sugar
•
1 teaspoon baking powder
•
1/4 teaspoon salt
•
4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
•
1/4 cup whole milk, or more as needed
•
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
•
cooking spray
•
5 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
•
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Directions
1
Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Add butter and use a fork or pastry cutter to work butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse cornmeal.
2
Pour in milk and vanilla and combine until liquid is evenly distributed. Add additional milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, if dough does not come together. Knead dough for 1 to 2 minutes.
3
Preheat an air fryer to 320 degrees F (160 degrees C). Lightly spray the basket with cooking spray.
4
Divide dough into 12 equal portions and set 6 portions into the basket without touching. Lightly spray with cooking spray.
5
Air fry for 5 minutes, lightly spray again, then fry for an additional 2 minutes. Transfer donut holes to a wire rack and repeat with remaining 6 portions.
6
Stir confectioners' sugar and lemon juice together in a very small bowl until well mixed. Drizzle lemon glaze over the donut holes and serve warm.
