Air Fryer Donuts

Let's cook

1. 1

   Cut the rings

   Separate the biscuits and cut a hole from the centre of each with a small round cutter or a bottle cap. Keep the holes — they cook in 3 minutes.

2. 2

   Do not crowd

   Place 3–4 rings in the basket with clear space between. They expand a lot and will fuse together if touching.

   💡

   Half a basket at a time. They roughly double in size.

3. 3

   Air fry

   Cook at 350°F (175°C) for 5–6 minutes, flipping at the halfway point, until puffed and golden on both sides.

4. 4

   Butter and coat while hot

   Brush immediately with melted butter and roll in the cinnamon sugar. The butter is what makes the sugar stick.

   💡

   Coat them straight out of the basket. Cooled doughnuts will not take the sugar.

5. 5

   Or glaze

   For a glazed version, whisk the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla and dip the tops once the doughnuts have cooled for 2 minutes, then add sprinkles.
