Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- ¼ cup whole milk, or more as needed
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- cooking spray
- 5 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- Preheat an air fryer to 320 degrees F (160 degrees C). Lightly spray the basket with cooking spray.
- Divide dough into 12 equal portions and set 6 portions into the basket without touching. Lightly spray with cooking spray.
- 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.
- 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.
