Ingredients

  • 1 can refrigerated flaky biscuits , like Pillsbury Grands! Flaky Biscuits
  • preferred topping, glaze, or frosting (see note below for cinnamon sugar topping) - see write up above recipe for topping ideas

Equipment

Instructions 

  • Separate the biscuits and with a 1-inch biscuit cutter, cut holes out of the center of the biscuits. Make sure to save the hole cut outs to air fry as donut holes.
    Cutting Donuts
  • Lightly coat the air fryer basket/tray with oil spray. Place the donuts in a single layer in the basket/tray making sure they aren’t touching (you may need to cook in batches).
    Arranging Donuts in Air Fryer
  • Air Fry at 330°F/165°C for 6-7 minutes, then gently wiggle to loosen. Flip over and continue Air Frying at 330°F/165°C for 1-3 minutes or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining donuts and donut holes (they may cook a little quicker since the air fryer is now heated up).
