Description

Enjoy soft, fluffy, and perfectly golden air fryer donuts made effortlessly with refrigerated biscuit dough. These quick cinnamon sugar-coated donuts are a delightful treat, perfect for a sweet breakfast or an easy dessert.


Ingredients

Donuts

  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

Topping

  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon


Instructions

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even cooking and golden results.
  2. Prepare the Dough: Take the refrigerated biscuit dough and carefully cut holes in the center of each biscuit to form the classic donut shape.
  3. Arrange Donuts: Place the donut rings in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, making sure they are not overlapping to allow hot air to circulate evenly.
  4. Air Fry the Donuts: Cook the donuts at 350°F for 5 to 6 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and puff up nicely.
  5. Brush with Butter: Remove the donuts from the air fryer and immediately brush them with the melted butter to enhance flavor and help the sugar stick.
  6. Mix Cinnamon Sugar: In a bowl, combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon thoroughly for the perfect coating.
  7. Coat the Donuts: Roll each warm donut in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated for a sweet, spiced finish.
  8. Serve: Serve the donuts immediately to enjoy them fresh and warm.

Notes

  • Donut holes can be cooked alongside the donuts if desired.
  • For a different finish, top the donuts with a glaze instead of cinnamon sugar.
