Servings 8 doughnuts and 8 doughnut holes
Equipment
- Air fryer
Ingredients
For the doughnuts:
- Cooking Spray
- 1 (16.3-oz.) can refrigerated biscuits
For the cinnamon-sugar topping:
- 1 Tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
- 3 Tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
For the chocolate glaze:
- 1/3 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 2 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 Tablespoons whole milk
- Sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
Make the doughnuts:
- Preheat the air fryer to 360°F.
- Separate the biscuits onto your work surface. You should have a total of 8 rounds.
- Using a 1-inch circular cookie cutter, cut out the centers of each biscuit to form 8 doughnuts and 8 doughnut holes.
- Grease the air fryer basket with cooking spray then arrange a portion of the doughnuts and doughnut holes inside the basket. Lightly coat the doughnuts with cooking spray then air-fry them until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer the doughnuts to a rack to cool then repeat the air-frying process with the remaining doughnuts.
- Transfer the doughnuts to a rack to cool completely while you prepare the toppings.
Make the cinnamon-sugar topping:
- In a small bowl, stir together the sugar and cinnamon.
- Coat the doughnuts with the melted butter then dredge them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, shaking off any excess, then serve.
Make the chocolate glaze:
- In a small bowl, sift together the confectioners’ sugar and cocoa powder. Whisk in the milk until the mixture is smooth, adding an additional 1 teaspoon of milk as needed to thin to your desired consistency.
- Dip the completely cooled doughnuts in the glaze then immediately top with sprinkles (optional). Return the doughnuts to the rack until the glaze is set, about 5 minutes, then serve.
