Instructions

Remove the biscuits from the can and use a small biscuit cutter or sharp knife to cut out the center of the biscuit. Save the cut outs and use them to make donut holes.

Spray the air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray.

Place 4 biscuits in your air fryer (more or less, depending on the size of your air fryer). Cook for 5 minutes at 350 degrees.

Once done cooking, remove. Allow to slightly cool as they will be hot.

Place your butter in a bowl. In a separate bowl, mix together your cinnamon and sugar.

Dip both sides of your donut in the butter, then immediately dip both sides in your cinnamon sugar mixture. Set aside.

Repeat steps 1 – 4 until all of your biscuits are cooked, and dipped in cinnamon sugar.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Preheat Your Air Fryer 🌡️
Preheat your air fryer to 350°F for 3-5 minutes before cooking to ensure even browning and prevent the biscuit dough from cooking unevenly on the outside while remaining doughy inside.
Don't Skip the Cinnamon Sugar Coating 🥄
Brush warm donuts lightly with melted butter immediately after air frying, then toss in cinnamon sugar while still warm—this ensures the coating adheres perfectly and creates that signature crispy-sweet exterior.
Use a Donut Mold for Perfect Shape 🍩
Invest in a silicone donut mold or air fryer donut rack to create uniform, evenly-cooked donuts with consistent hole sizes that cook through at the same rate.
Space Matters for Air Circulation 💨
Arrange donuts in a single layer without overlapping to allow hot air to circulate completely around each piece, ensuring golden-brown results on all sides rather than pale spots.
Let Biscuit Dough Come to Room Temperature 🧈
Remove canned biscuit dough from the refrigerator 10-15 minutes before cooking so it rises properly and develops a light, fluffy interior while the exterior crisps beautifully in the air fryer.
