Ingredients

  • 16.3 ounce can refrigerated flaky large biscuits
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • cooking spray*
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter , melted

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Remove the biscuits from the can, separate them, and place them on a work space like a cutting board or rolling mat. Use a 1-inch round cookie cutter (or similarly-sized bottle cap) to cut holes out of the center of each biscuit.
  2. Lightly coat your air fryer basket with cooking oil.
  3. Place 4 donuts in a single layer without touching in the air fryer.
  4. Close the air fryer and set to 350°F (nope, you do not need to preheat).
  5. Cook for 5-6 minutes or until donuts are lightly browned and you can see the layers of biscuit start to seperate. Flip halfway through the cooking process.
  6. Repeat with the remaining biscuits.
  7. In a small, shallow bowl or pie plate, mix together sugar and ground cinnamon.
  8. Baste both sides of the warm donuts with melted butter.
  9. Toss in cinnamon sugar mixture. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • *Many companies do not suggest using nonstick cooking spray such as Pam, which can damage the coating on the basket. Instead, make your own spritz and use olive oil or avocado oil.
  • You can also cook the donut holes by following the same process and cooking for 4 minutes.
