Ingredients
- 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
For Cinnamon Sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Or for Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 tablespoons milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 3 minutes.
- Separate the biscuits and use a small round cutter or bottle cap to remove the center of each, creating donut shapes. Save the holes.
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray.
- Arrange the donuts in a single layer, leaving space between them.
- Air fry for 4–5 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown. Cook the donut holes for 3–4 minutes.
- Brush the warm donuts with melted butter.
Cinnamon Sugar Coating
Mix the sugar and cinnamon together, then coat the buttered donuts while they’re still warm.
Vanilla Glaze
Whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Dip the warm donuts into the glaze and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Tips
- Avoid overcrowding the basket; cook in batches if needed.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg or pumpkin pie spice to the cinnamon sugar.
- Enjoy warm for the best texture.
