Ingredients
Scale
Donut Dough
- 1 can Jumbo Biscuits (like Pillsbury Grands)
Cinnamon Sugar Coating
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
Butter
- 5 Tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions
- Prepare Cinnamon Sugar: In a shallow bowl, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar with 1/2 tablespoon ground cinnamon and mix thoroughly. Set aside for coating the donuts later.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 3-5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Shape the Donuts: Open the can of jumbo biscuits and separate each biscuit carefully. Using a small round cutter or the small end of a piping tip, cut a hole in the center of each biscuit to form the donut shape.
- Air Fry the Donuts: Place the biscuits in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they don’t touch for even cooking. Air fry at 350°F for 5-6 minutes until they turn golden brown and puffed up. You may need to cook in batches depending on your air fryer size.
- Brush with Butter: Remove the donuts from the air fryer and immediately brush them generously with the melted butter to ensure the cinnamon sugar sticks well.
- Coat with Cinnamon Sugar: Dip each buttered donut into the cinnamon sugar mixture or sprinkle the mixture over the donuts until fully coated.
- Serve and Enjoy: Allow the donuts to cool slightly and serve warm for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Use jumbo biscuits for larger, fluffy donuts; smaller biscuits can be used but may require less cooking time.
- Ensure the air fryer is preheated to get the best crispy exterior.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow hot air to circulate properly.
- If you don’t have a small cutter, you can carefully poke a hole with the back of a piping tip or a small bottle cap.
- These donuts are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated briefly in the air fryer.
