Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (like Pillsbury Grands)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer – Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and lightly spray the basket with cooking spray.
- Cut Out Donuts – Separate the biscuit dough and use a small cookie cutter (or bottle cap) to cut out the center of each biscuit, making a donut shape. Save the holes for donut holes!
- Air Fry – Place donuts in the air fryer basket in a single layer (work in batches if needed). Air fry for 5-6 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown. Donut holes take about 3-4 minutes.
- Coat with Butter & Cinnamon Sugar – In a bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon. Brush warm donuts with melted butter, then dip each one in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Serve & Enjoy – Eat warm for the best taste!
Notes
- Want a Glaze Instead? Mix 1 cup powdered sugar with 2 tbsp milk and drizzle over the donuts.
- For Extra Crispiness – Air fry for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Storage – Best enjoyed fresh, but you can store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
