Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuits (8 count)
- Cooking spray or melted butter
- 1 cup white vanilla frosting
- Yellow food coloring
- Orange food coloring
- 1/2 cup yellow and orange sprinkles (optional)
- Handful of real candy corn pieces for garnish
Instructions
- Open the can of biscuits and separate them on a clean work surface. Use a small round cutter, about 1 inch in diameter, to cut a hole out of the center of each biscuit. Save the center pieces to make donut holes later!
- Lightly grease the air fryer basket with cooking spray or a small amount of oil. Place the donuts in the basket in a single layer, making sure they do not touch. You may need to work in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Cook the donuts for 5 to 6 minutes, or until they have puffed up and turned a beautiful golden brown. Carefully remove them from the basket and let them cool on a wire rack for a few minutes.
- Divide your white frosting into three separate small bowls. Leave one bowl white. Add a few drops of yellow food coloring to the second bowl and orange food coloring to the third bowl. Stir each until the color is vibrant and even.
- Once the donuts are cool to the touch, it is time to decorate. To mimic a candy corn, frost the outer edge of the donut with the yellow frosting. Apply a ring of orange frosting in the middle, and finish with a ring of white frosting around the center hole. Top with a few pieces of actual candy corn for the final touch.
