Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Once preheated, arrange mounds of batter, each measuring about ¼ cup, in the basket. Do not overcrowd the fritters. Cook for 5-6 minutes. Glaze while the fritters are still warm.

In a medium bowl, stir the powdered sugar and milk together. Drizzle a generous amount of glaze over the warm fritters.
1 ½ cups (180g) powdered sugar, 2-3 tablespoons milk of choice
Notes
All air fryers are different, but I typically only preheat mine for 2-3 minutes.
Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may want to work in batches. Just be sure you're not overcrowding the fritters.
