Prep Time: 5 mins
Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 donuts
Ingredients
- 1 can Pillsbury Grands biscuits
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 can of Pillsbury Grands biscuits, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and cooking spray.
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes while you prepare the donuts.
- Open the can of Pillsbury Grands biscuits and separate the biscuits. You should have 8 biscuits in total.
- Using a small round cookie cutter or the cap of a bottle, cut a hole in the center of each biscuit to create the donut shape. If you don't have a cutter, you can use a knife to carefully cut out the center.
- In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon. Mix well until evenly combined.
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Place the donuts in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they are not touching each other. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Air fry the donuts at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, flip the donuts over and continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Once the donuts are cooked, remove them from the air fryer and immediately toss them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture while they are still warm. Make sure to coat them evenly.
- Allow the donuts to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious air fryer donuts!
Tips
- Ensure your air fryer is preheated for consistent cooking results.
- Don't overcrowd the basket - cook donuts in a single layer for even browning.
- Use cooking spray to prevent sticking and achieve a crispy exterior.
- Toss donuts in cinnamon-sugar mixture while they're still warm for maximum flavor absorption.
- Experiment with different coatings like powdered sugar or chocolate glaze for variety.
- Let donuts cool slightly before eating to avoid burning your mouth.
- If your donuts aren't perfectly round, don't worry - rustic shapes are part of the homemade charm!
