Air Fryer Donuts from Biscuits Recipe
Ingredients
1 can of biscuits (Pillsbury grands biscuits)
3 TBS Melted Butter
1/3 cup Sugar
1 tsp Cinnamon
4 TBS Brown Sugar
Directions
Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees F and grease the air fryer basket by spraying it with non-stick cooking spray, coconut oil spray, or olive oil spray. Open the canned biscuit dough and lay out each biscuit on a sheet of parchment paper. Use a 1 to 1½-inch round biscuit cutter (or a bottle cap, shot glass, or a small round cookie cutter) to cut small holes into the center of the biscuits. You can save the dough from the center of each biscuit to make doughnut holes if you desire air fryer donut holes.
Place 4 of the biscuits in a single layer in the basket of your air fryer and cook for about 5 minutes, depending on the size of your air fryer, as different air fryers will call for different amounts of cooking times. Flip the canned biscuits in the basket of the air fryer about halfway through (3-4 minutes), and continue to cook until they are golden brown. Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl, and set the cinnamon sugar mixture aside. Place the fluffy donuts on a wire rack on top of a baking sheet, and use a pastry brush to brush the melted butter all over the donuts. Immediately dip donuts in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, giving each a cinnamon sugar coating. Store leftover donuts in an airtight container at room temperature.
