Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup milk
1 large egg
2 tablespoons melted butter
Oil spray for greasing
Powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar for coating

Instructions

Prepare the Dough: In a bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg together. In another bowl, whisk together milk, egg, and melted butter. Combine wet and dry ingredients until a dough forms.
Form the Donut Holes: Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C).

Grease the Air Fryer Basket: Lightly spray the basket with oil to prevent sticking.
Air Fry the Donut Holes: Place the donut holes in the basket in a single layer, making sure they are not touching. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, turning halfway through, until they are golden brown.
Coat and Serve: Remove the donut holes from the air fryer and let them cool for a minute. Toss them in powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar until well coated. Serve warm.
