Weights are estimates. Together, the ingredients weigh about 315 g before cooking, which is about 80 g per serving.

Steps

Add the self-raising flour and Greek yogurt to a bowl. Combine until the mixture begins to form a dough.
Knead the dough by hand until cohesive. If it is sticky, work in up to 1 teaspoon of neutral oil as needed.
Divide the dough into two equal parts. Roll each part into a log, then cut the logs into equal portions.
Roll each cut portion between your hands to form smooth balls. Avoid compacting them excessively so they remain light.
Preheat the air fryer to 180°C (350 °F) / 350°F (180 °C). Arrange the dough balls in the basket in a single layer, leaving space between them for air circulation.
Air-fry at 180°C (350 °F) / 350°F (180 °C) until puffed and lightly golden, about 8–10 minutes. Check early because air fryers vary; the centers should be cooked through.
Melt the margarine. While the donut balls are still warm, coat or brush them lightly with the melted margarine.
Combine sugar and ground cinnamon in a bowl. Toss the margarine-coated donut balls in the cinnamon sugar until evenly covered, then serve warm.

Notes

The source does not specify the air-fryer cooking time or the amounts of margarine and cinnamon sugar, so these have been estimated. Cook in batches if necessary; do not overcrowd the air-fryer basket.
