- Prepare Biscuit Dough:
- Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Use your fingers or a small round cookie cutter to punch out a hole in the center of each biscuit to create the donut shape.
- Coat with Butter:
- Dip each biscuit donut into the melted butter, ensuring it’s coated on all sides.
Step 3: Air Fry the Donuts
- Air Fry:
- Place the coated donuts in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they don’t touch each other. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Cook Time:
- Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 5-6 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the donuts are golden brown and cooked through. Adjust the cooking time as needed based on your air fryer model and size.
Step 4: Coat with Cinnamon Sugar
- Prepare Cinnamon Sugar:
- In a shallow bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.
- Coat Donuts:
- As soon as the donuts are done cooking and still warm, immediately roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat evenly. Shake off any excess sugar.
Step 5: Serve
- Serve Warm:
- Transfer the air fryer donuts to a serving plate and serve warm. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Tips and Variations
- Glaze Option: Instead of cinnamon sugar, you can glaze the donuts with a simple powdered sugar glaze or chocolate ganache after they cool down.
- Filling: For filled donuts, inject your favorite filling using a piping bag fitted with a small round tip after they have cooled slightly.
- Toppings: Customize your donuts with toppings like sprinkles, chopped nuts, or drizzled chocolate.
