AIR FRYER GLAZED DONUTS

by
1. Prepare the Donuts:
  1. Prepare Biscuit Dough:
    • Open the can of biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Using a small round cutter or a bottle cap, cut out the center of each biscuit to create donut shapes. You can also use a knife to cut out the centers if you don’t have a round cutter.
  2. Optional Cinnamon Sugar Coating:
    • If you’d like a cinnamon sugar coating, mix the ground cinnamon with the melted butter. Brush this mixture over the donut shapes before air frying.
2. Preheat the Air Fryer:
  1. Preheat:
    • Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes. This ensures that the air fryer is at the right temperature for even cooking.
3. Air Fry the Donuts:
  1. Arrange Donuts:
    • Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray or olive oil spray. Arrange the donut shapes in the basket in a single layer, making sure they are not touching. Cook in batches if necessary.
  2. Air Fry:
    • Air fry the donuts at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Flip the donuts halfway through the cooking time for even browning.
  3. Cool:
    • Remove the donuts from the air fryer and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before glazing.
4. Prepare the Glaze:
  1. Make the Glaze:
    • In a bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. If you want to add food coloring, you can do so at this stage.
  2. Glaze the Donuts:
    • Dip the slightly cooled donuts into the glaze, coating them completely. Let any excess glaze drip off before placing the donuts back on the wire rack.
  3. Set the Glaze:
    • Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes before serving.
