Air Fryer Biscuit Donut Recipe

1. Begin this simple biscuit donut recipe by removing the biscuits from the can and laying them on a flat surface. Use a large heart cookie cutter to cut the biscuit into the shape of a heart. Depending on the cookie cutter you use, you may need to stretch the edges of the biscuit or use a rolling pin to make each biscuit a little larger. If you use a rolling pin, just a few gentle rolls should do the trick. You still want the biscuits to be thick
2. Then, using a smaller heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut out a hole in the center of each biscuit to make the donut holes. (you can air fry those too). Brush biscuit donut hearts with melted butter.
3. Preheat air fryer to 340 degrees F. *Every air fryer heats a little differently, test out one or two and adjust the temp up or down by a few degrees, or bake less time or more time. . Spray the bottom of your air fryer basket with a little spray oil or line with parchment paper made for air fryers. Place your heart donuts into the basket about 2 inches apart to allow room for rising.Don't overcrowd, do in batches if needed. You can air fry the mini heart shaped donut holes too!
4. Bake in preheated air fryer for about 6 minutes at 340 degrees f. Remember to flip them halfway through! You'll know the donuts are finished frying when they are golden brown and puffed. Set on a cooling rack and proceed with the rest of the donuts

Frosting Air Fryer Biscuit Donuts

1. Allow donuts to cool on a wire rack or baking sheet. Make sure they are cooled, otherwise, the icing will melt off the hot donut. If desired, place rack in fridge to cool quicker. Next, grab two small microwave-safe bowls. Microwave a little (you won't use the whole can) strawberry and chocolate icing separately for 30-second intervals. Stir the icing until it's smooth and silky-soft.
2. Then, add a little milk at a time to the frosting, stirring until it's still thick, but fluid. If you'd like a thinner icing, add more whole milk, one tablespoon at a time.
3. Line a baking sheet or countertop with a sheet of parchment paper, and if desired, place a wire rack on top of sheet. Next, dip the tops into the icing and set them aside on the parchment paper. Transfer a little remaining icing into piping bags or a Ziplock bag. Cut a small hole in one corner and pipe the icing over the donuts in a straight-line design, as seen in the photos. Add sprinkles right away so they stick.
