Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (16.3 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 (optional)
Instructions
- Open the can of biscuits and separate each biscuit. Use a 1-inch round biscuit cutter or the base of a large piping tip to cut a hole out of the center of each biscuit. This will give you 8 donuts and 8 donut holes. You can cut the donuts into smaller quarters to make “mini” bite-sized pieces if preferred.
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 3 minutes. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with a little bit of non-stick cooking spray or parchment paper designed for air fryers to prevent sticking.
- Place the donuts in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they do not touch. You may need to work in batches. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes until they are golden brown and puffed up.
- While the donuts are cooking, melt the butter in a small bowl. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon until well combined.
- As soon as the donuts come out of the air fryer, quickly dip each one into the melted butter, or use a pastry brush to coat them. Immediately roll the buttered donut in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated. Serve while still warm.
