How to Make Air Fryer Donuts (Easy 4 Ingredient Recipe)
Our Air Fryer Donut recipe makes perfectly tender donuts that are ready in minutes! No fuss, no hot oil, just fluffy soft donuts and holes!
Ingredients
- 16.3 ounce can Grand Flaky layers Pillsbury biscuits
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons melted butter salted or unsalted it is not important
Instructions
- Separate all of the biscuits and place them on the cutting board.
- Use a 1-inch cookie or donut cutter or similar to cut a hole in the middle of the biscuits. If you do not have a 1-inch donut cutter, you can cut with a knife, use the back of a piping tip.
- Place 4 donuts in the air fryer and 4 donut holes. (I have a Cosori 5,8 QT) and I can cook 4 at the time with the donut holes.
- Bake at 350°F for 5 to 6 minutes or until golden brown.
- If you have a hot kitchen place the remaining 4 donuts and donut holes back in the fridge.
- Meanwhile, in a medium size (large enough to fit a donut) bowl combine the sugar and the cinnamon. Set aside.
- Place melted butter in a medium bowl large enough to fit a donut.
- When your donuts are nice and golden brown, take them out of the air fryer and place them on a plate. One at a time place the donuts in the butter and flip to coat both sides. Let the excess butter drip off and then transfer them to the bowl with the sugar cinnamon mixture. The cinnamon mixture will stick to the donut due to the butter coating.
- Let the donut rest on a rack.
- Repeat with the last four biscuits.
