Cinnamon Sugar Air Fryer Biscuit Donuts (That Don't Taste Like Biscuits)
Description
Fluffy, golden biscuit donuts with a buttery cinnamon sugar crust — 5 minutes, 4 ingredients, no deep frying. The butter-bath trick makes them taste like real donuts, not biscuits
Ingredients
- 16.3 oz refrigerated biscuit dough, Pillsbury Grands
- 4 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1½ tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 360°F for 2–3 min. Spray basket with olive or coconut oil spray.
- Separate biscuits; punch a hole in each center. Save the holes.
- Dip both sides of each raw donut in melted butter; let excess drip off.
- Air fry 3–4 donuts in a single layer at 360°F for 4–5 min, flip, cook 3–4 min more until golden. Repeat in batches.
- Air fry the holes at 360°F for 3–4 min, flipping once.
- Stir sugar and cinnamon together in a shallow bowl.
- Roll each hot donut in cinnamon sugar, then roll a second time. Cool on a rack.
- Serve warm.
Equipment
- Air Fryer, Basket or Oven-Style
- Parchment Paper, or Cooking Spray
- Biscuit Cutter
Notes
Notes: Use jumbo Grands. No Pam-type sprays. Roll while hot. Turbinado sugar = crunchier crust.
