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.
