Ingredients
  

  • 1 can 16.3 oz refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • Cooking spray for air fryer basket

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Air Fryer: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 2-3 minutes.
  • Shape the Donuts: Separate the biscuit dough into 8 pieces. Use a small round cutter or bottle cap to cut a hole in the center of each biscuit, creating a donut shape.
  • Air Fry: Place 3-4 donuts in the air fryer basket, ensuring they don’t overlap. Air fry for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining donuts.
  • Coat with Cinnamon Sugar: In a shallow bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon. Brush each warm donut with melted butter, then dip into the cinnamon sugar mixture, coating evenly.
  • Serve: Enjoy warm and fresh!

Notes

  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer for 1-2 minutes to restore crispiness.
  • Variations: Add a glaze or drizzle with melted chocolate for extra indulgence.
  • Tip: Save the biscuit centers to air fry as donut holes!
