Who doesn’t love the smell of freshly baked donuts wafting through the kitchen? Donuts are a beloved treat enjoyed by many, but making them from scratch can often be a daunting task. Enter the Air Fryer Biscuit Donuts! This recipe simplifies the process, allowing you to whip up a batch of delicious donuts in no time. With just a few ingredients and an air fryer, you can create warm, fluffy donuts that are perfect for any occasion. Whether you’re a seasoned baker or a novice in the kitchen, this recipe is designed to be approachable and enjoyable!
Ingredients:
• 1 pack Grands biscuits
• 4 tablespoons melted butter
• 1 cup cinnamon sugar (1 cup sugar mixed with 1 tablespoon cinnamon)
Directions:
Step 1: Prepare the Donuts
Start by preheating your air fryer to 360°F (182°C). While the air fryer is heating, take each biscuit and carefully cut a hole in the center to create the donut shape. You can use a small round cookie cutter or even the cap of a bottle for this. Don’t discard the holes; you can air fry them too for mini donut holes!
Step 2: Air Fry the Donuts
Once your air fryer is preheated, arrange the donuts in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Make sure to leave some space between each donut to allow for even cooking. Air fry the donuts at 360°F for 6 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time. They should turn golden brown and puff up beautifully.
Step 3: Brush with Butter
Once the donuts are cooked to perfection, remove them from the air fryer and place them on a cooling rack or a plate. While they are still warm, brush each donut generously with melted butter. This step is crucial as it allows the cinnamon sugar to stick to the donuts.
Step 4: Coat with Cinnamon Sugar
In a shallow bowl, pour the cinnamon sugar mixture. Take each buttered donut and dip it into the cinnamon sugar, ensuring that it is evenly coated. For an extra touch of sweetness, you can double dip if desired!
Step 5: Enjoy!
Your Air Fryer Biscuit Donuts are now ready to be enjoyed! Serve them warm, and feel free to add a drizzle of icing or a sprinkle of powdered sugar for an additional treat. These donuts are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for a couple of days.
Tips:
For extra indulgence, drizzle the donuts with caramel or chocolate sauce.
Use the donut holes for bite-sized treats—air fry them for 4–5 minutes.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 1 day and reheat briefly in the air fryer.
