Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can Canned Biscuit Dough
- 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter
- 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Ground Cinnamon
- Optional Toppings/Glazes: Powdered sugar, cocoa powder, sprinkles, chocolate sauce
Instructions
- Prepare Your Donut Shapes: Open the can of biscuit dough and lay out each biscuit on a lightly floured surface or parchment paper. Use two round cutters to create the donut shape, one larger (about 2.5-3 inches) and one smaller (about 1 inch). Cut out the centers and save the donut holes.
- Preheat Your Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
- Set Up Your Coating Station: Melt about 1/4 cup of unsalted butter in a small, microwave-safe bowl. In a separate shallow dish, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar with 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon and stir until well combined.
- Air Fry the Donuts: Lightly grease your air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place 2-4 donuts in a single layer and cook for 4-6 minutes, flipping halfway through. Repeat with the remaining donuts and donut holes.
- Coat and Serve: Immediately dip each donut into the melted butter, then transfer to the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat completely. Serve warm.
