- 2
Pour batter into a squeeze bottle or piping bag fitted with a small round tip.
- 3
Cut a piece of parchment to fit the air fryer basket and lightly spray with oil.
- 4
Squeeze batter onto the parchment in overlapping spiral and zigzag patterns.
- 5
Air fry at 370°F for 5–6 minutes, flip carefully, and cook another 3–4 minutes until golden brown.

Dust generously with powdered sugar and serve immediately.
Pro tip. A squeeze bottle with a wide opening gives you the most control when piping the batter. Work quickly as the batter thickens over time.
Why the air fryer wins here
- Ready in 12 minutes. The same dish takes about 20 in a conventional oven, plus preheating.
- Uses a fraction of the oil of deep frying, which is how this comes in at 310 calories a serving.
- Cleanup is a basket, not a sheet pan and a splattered stovetop.
Storing and reheating
Refrigerate perishable leftovers within 2 hours, or within 1 hour above 90°F. Reheat leftovers to 165°F (74°C) throughout, measured with a food thermometer. USDA leftover safety guidance.
Keep leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-5 minutes rather than the microwave so the outside crisps back up. See the reheat guide for exact times by food.
