Ingredients
Scale
8 oz canned biscuit dough
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tbsp butter, melted
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1–2 tbsp milk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Separate biscuit dough into individual biscuits.
In a small bowl, mix granulated sugar and cinnamon.
Brush each biscuit with melted butter, then coat generously with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Place donuts in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they don’t touch.
Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 4-6 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown.
While donuts are cooking, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth. Add more milk for a thinner glaze, or more powdered sugar for a thicker glaze.
Let donuts cool slightly, then dip or drizzle with the glaze.
Notes
For a chocolate glaze, melt 1/4 cup chocolate chips with 1 tsp butter and drizzle over donuts.
You can also roll the cooked donuts in powdered sugar instead of glazing.
Adjust air fryer cooking time based on your specific model.
