Ingredients

Donuts

1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 count)

2 tbsp butter, melted

Coating

1/3 cup granulated sugar

1 tbsp cinnamon

Optional Glaze

1 cup powdered sugar

2 tbsp milk

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Equipment

Air Fryer Parchment Liners

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.
