Ingredients
  

  • 1 can Jumbo Biscuits like Pillsbury Grands
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 5 Tablespoons butter melted

Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Round Cookie Cutter 1 inch

Method
 

  1. Preheat air fryer to 360 degrees. To do this, simply turn your air fryer on at 360 degrees and let it run for about 3-5 minutes.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix together the cinnamon and sugar. Set aside.
  3. Open the can of flaky biscuits and cut the center out of each one using a 1-inch round cookie cutter. Lightly coat air fryer basket with coconut oil spray (you can also use olive oil spray). Do not use non-stick spray like Pam (those sprays could be harmful to your air fryer).
  4. Place the donuts (not holes), in your air fryer. Bake for 5 minutes at 360 degrees. As the doughnuts are cooking, melt the butter.
  5. Using a silicone pastry brush, coat the baked doughnuts with your melted butter. Then cover the donuts with the cinnamon sugar mixture by dipping and rolling around. Use a spoon to coat the top as well. Gently shake off excess cinnamon sugar. Serve doughnuts hot.

Notes

  • When you air fry the “holes”, set your timer for 3 minutes and repeat the process of dipping in butter and then adding the cinnamon and sugar mixture.
