Ingredients
Scale
- 8 canned biscuit dough (Pillsbury flaky layers preferred)
- Vegetable oil or canola oil (for brushing)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- Optional glaze: powdered sugar mixed with a splash of milk or vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C), about 3 minutes.
- Open the canned biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Press each biscuit into a donut shape by poking a hole in the center.
- Brush each shaped biscuit lightly with oil.
- Place donuts in the air fryer basket with space between each donut.
- Air fry for 5 minutes at 350°F (175°C), flipping halfway through at 2.5 minutes.
- While donuts cook, mix 1/2 cup granulated sugar with 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon in a bowl.
- Remove donuts from the air fryer and immediately toss them in the cinnamon sugar mixture while warm.
- Optional: Drizzle cooled donuts with a glaze made from powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract.
Notes
Brush donuts lightly with oil to achieve a crispy texture without greasiness. Flip donuts halfway through cooking for even browning. Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket. Reheat leftovers in the air fryer to maintain crispiness. Variations include gluten-free biscuit dough, sweet or savory coatings, and filled donuts.
