- Cook Time: 16 minutes
- Total Time: 16 minutes
- Diet: Vegetarian
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated flaky layers biscuits (8 count)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- Non-stick cooking spray (propellant-free preferred)
Instructions
- Open the can of biscuits and separate them onto a clean work surface. Use a small round 1-inch cookie cutter or the cap of a plastic bottle to cut a hole out of the center of each biscuit. Save the centers to make donut holes later!
- In a small shallow bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon until well combined. In a separate small bowl, melt the butter in the microwave. Set both bowls aside so they are ready as soon as the donuts come out of the air fryer.
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the donuts in the basket in a single layer, ensuring they do not touch. Cook for 3 minutes, then flip them over and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until they are golden brown.
- While the donuts are still hot, quickly dip each side into the melted butter. Immediately toss the buttered donut in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until it is fully coated. Repeat with the remaining donuts and serve immediately.
