Ingredients

Ingredient Checklist

  • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour (about 5 3/8 oz.), plus more for working surface
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon table salt
  • 4 tablespoons cold salted butter, cut into small pieces
  • ⅓ cup whole milk
  • Cooking spray
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (about 8 oz.)
  • 3 tablespoons water
 

Instructions 

  • Step 1

    Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Add butter; cut into flour using 2 knives or a pastry cutter, until butter is well combined and looks like coarse cornmeal. Add milk, and stir until dough forms a ball. Place dough on a floured surface, and knead until dough is smooth and forms a cohesive ball, about 30 seconds. Cut dough into 14 equal balls. Roll each gently to form evenly smooth balls.

  • Step 2

    Thoroughly coat bottom of air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place 7 dough balls in the basket of air fryer, spacing evenly to avoid touching. Spray dough balls with cooking spray. Cook at 350°F until browned and puffed, about 10 minutes. Gently remove from basket, and place on a wire rack. 

  • Step 3

    Whisk together powdered sugar and water in a medium bowl until smooth. Place cooked dough balls, 1 at a time, in glaze; roll to coat. Place on wire rack or baking sheet lined with parchment paper to dry. 

  • Step 4

    Repeat procedure with remaining dough and glaze.
