Certainly! Making donuts in the air fryer is a quick and healthier alternative to deep frying. Here’s a simple recipe for Air Fryer Donuts:
Ingredients:
For the Donuts:
- 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (flaky, not layered)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
For the Glaze (Optional):
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (180°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Prepare Biscuit Dough: Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Use a small round cutter or the back of a piping tip to cut a hole in the center of each biscuit, creating a donut shape.
- Air Fry the Donuts: Place the donuts in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving some space between them. You may need to work in batches.
Air fry the donuts at 350°F (180°C) for 4-6 minutes or until they are golden brown. Flip the donuts halfway through the cooking time for even browning.
- Coat with Cinnamon Sugar: While the donuts are still warm, brush them with melted butter, then dip each donut into a mixture of granulated sugar and ground cinnamon, ensuring they are well-coated.
- Optional Glaze: If you prefer glazed donuts, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Dip each donut into the glaze, allowing any excess to drip off.
- Serve: Place the coated or glazed donuts on a wire rack to set for a few minutes. Serve the air fryer donuts warm and enjoy!
These air fryer donuts are a quick and tasty treat that can be easily customized. Experiment with different toppings, glazes, or even fillings to suit your preferences. Enjoy your homemade donuts without the need for deep frying!
