📝 Ingredients

  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (such as Pillsbury Grands)

🔧 Instructions

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 3–5 minutes.
  2. Prepare the donuts:
    • Open the can of biscuits and separate the dough.
    • Use a small round cutter (or bottle cap) to punch a hole in the center of each biscuit, creating a classic donut shape.
  3. Air fry:
    • Place donuts (and donut holes if desired) in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
    • Cook for 4–5 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Coat in topping:
    • While warm, brush each donut with melted butter.
    • Mix cinnamon and sugar in a bowl, then roll or sprinkle the donuts until evenly coated.

✅ Tips & Variations

  • Glazed version: Dip in a simple glaze made of powdered sugar and milk instead of the cinnamon sugar.
