Ingredients
  

For the Donuts:
  • 16 ounces refrigerated biscuits any brand, Pillsbury recommended
  • 1 cup white sugar for coating
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon ground
  • 3 tablespoons butter melted

Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Cookie Cutter
  • Baking sheet
  • Mixing Bowl

Method
 

Instructions:
  1. Step 1: Prepare the Biscuits
    Open the package of refrigerated biscuits and separate them. Using a cookie cutter, make a hole in the center of each biscuit to form the donut shape. You can also use a small round cutter or the cap of a bottle for this.
  2. Step 2: Preheat the Air Fryer
    Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your donuts will cook evenly.
  3. Step 3: Prepare the Cinnamon-Sugar Coating
    In a mixing bowl, combine the white sugar and ground cinnamon. Mix well and set aside.
  4. Step 4: Melt the Butter
    In a small bowl, melt the butter. This will be used to coat the donuts before they are tossed in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  5. Step 5: Coat the Donuts
    Dip each donut in the melted butter, ensuring it is well coated. Then, roll it in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully covered. Place the coated donuts on a baking sheet.
  6. Step 6: Air Fry the Donuts
    Carefully place the coated donuts in the preheated air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching. Air fry for about 5-6 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Step 7: Enjoy!
    Once cooked, remove the donuts from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these delightful treats warm for the best experience!

Notes

  • Feel free to add vanilla extract to the melted butter for extra flavor.
  • These donuts are best enjoyed fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container for a day or two.
  • If you have leftovers, reheat them in the air fryer for a few minutes to enjoy them warm again.
