Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 (16.3 ounce) can refrigerated biscuits
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • ½ cup melted butter

Instructions

  • Use a small round cookie cutter or the back of a pastry tip, cut out the centers of each biscuit to create the classic donut shape.
  • Arrange the donuts in a single layer in your air fryer basket, ensuring they don't touch.
  • Air fry them at 350°F for 6-7 minutes, flipping them over two-thirds of the way through to ensure even browning.
  • They're ready when golden brown and puffed up!
  • Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Brush the tops and bottoms of the donuts with the melted butter using a pastry brush.

Notes

  • Use flaky biscuit dough for the best texture and be sure to cut out the centers to create that classic donut shape (save the holes to air fry too!).
  • Lightly spray the donuts and air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray and cook in a single layer—don’t overcrowd.
  • Flip halfway through cooking for even browning and toss in powdered sugar while the donuts are still warm so it sticks well.
