  6. Prepare the basket: Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper, brushing it lightly with cooking spray.
  7. Scoop the batter: Use a spoon to drop approximately 3–4 spoonfuls of batter onto the parchment-lined basket.
  8. Air fry fritters: Cook the fritters for 8–10 minutes, flipping them halfway through.
  9. Make the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, additional milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
