💡 Pro Tips

  • Roll donut holes with slightly damp palms to create surface tension that prevents cracking during air frying, as dry hands create friction that breaks protein bonds.technique
  • Preheat your air fryer for exactly 3 minutes at 360°F before adding donut holes to ensure immediate Maillard reaction and prevent moisture loss that makes protein-heavy batters dense.timing3 minutes at 360°F
  • Space donut holes 1.5 inches apart in the air fryer basket because high-protein batters release more steam and need proper airflow to prevent soggy bottoms.equipment1.5 inches spacing
  • Let donut holes rest for 2-3 minutes after rolling before air frying so gluten strands relax and proteins set, reducing expansion cracks by up to 60%.timing2-3 minutes rest
  • Dust with powdered sugar while donut holes are still warm (above 140°F) so residual moisture creates a light adhesive layer that prevents sugar from falling off.techniqueabove 140°F
