# Expert advice:

01 -
  • They're ready in under twenty minutes, which means you can satisfy a sudden craving without guilt or major cleanup.
  • The air fryer does all the work—no oil splatter, no burned fingers, just pure crispy-sweet magic.
  • You probably already have everything in your kitchen right now.
02 -
  • Don't skip the flip halfway through—one side will burn and the other won't crisp if you leave them alone.
  • Let them cool for at least a minute; they're deceptively hot and will taste even crunchier once they've cooled slightly.
03 -
  • A pastry brush that's slightly damp makes butter application even, while a dry brush leaves skipped spots.
  • The exact crispness level depends on your air fryer's personality—start at five minutes, check, then add thirty-second increments if needed rather than guessing the full seven.
