Ingredients
Equipment
Steps
- 1
Cut each biscuit into quarters and roll each piece into a smooth ball.
- 2
Lightly spray the air fryer basket and the donut holes with cooking spray.
- 3
Arrange donut holes in a single layer with space between each. Work in batches if needed.
- 4
Air fry at 375°F for 6–8 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until golden brown all over.
- 5
Immediately brush hot donut holes with melted butter, then roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- 6
Serve warm for the best texture.
Tip: Rolling the dough pieces into tight, smooth balls is important — any cracks or seams will split open during cooking. Brush with butter while still hot so the cinnamon sugar coating sticks evenly.
