  8. Place donut balls one at a time into dusting sugar rolling it gently until it is all covered. (repeat the same process for all of them)

  11. 9. Let cool and enjoy!

Notes

1. Store the leftovers in a air tight container to retain moisture.
2. An air fryer can be used if preferred. You may have to do separate batches if your air fryer is not big enough. I find that a lower temperature and longer cook time works best. 30-35 minutes @ 300 degrees.
