Notes

I make these in my Cosori 5.8 Air Fryer. Depending on the size and wattage of the Air Fryer, you may need to add 1-2 additional minutes to cook time.
Leave enough room between each pastry, allowing room for the roll to puff as it cooks.
Do not stack or overlap in the basket. The dough may not cook evenly.
You can make 4 or 8 in a batch, depending on what will fit in your basket.
