Ingredients
Steps
- 1
Separate biscuits. Use a small round cutter or bottle cap to cut a hole in the center of each.
- 2
Air fry donuts and donut holes at 350°F for 5-6 minutes until puffed and golden.
- 3
Immediately brush with melted butter, then toss in cinnamon sugar mixture.
- 4
For glazed donuts, whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. Dip warm donuts in glaze.
- 5
Serve warm — they're best fresh out of the air fryer.
Tip: Don't skip brushing with butter first — the cinnamon sugar won't stick otherwise. Cook donut holes separately since they take about 3-4 minutes.
