Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• cooking spray
• 4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
• 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup whole milk, or more as needed
• 5 tablespoons confectioners' sugar

Recipe Instructions

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 3

Preheat an air fryer to 320 degrees F (160 degrees C). Lightly spray the basket with cooking spray.

Step 4

Divide dough into 12 equal portions and set 6 portions into the basket without touching. Lightly spray with cooking spray.

Step 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.

Step 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.
