Ingredients
1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
1/4 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for coating)
1 tablespoon melted butter (for brushing)
For the Glaze (optional):

1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
How to Make
Prepare the Donut Shapes:

Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Open the can of biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Use a small round cutter (or the lid of a bottle) to cut a hole in the center of each biscuit to form a donut shape.
Brush with Butter:

Brush both sides of each donut and donut hole with melted butter. This will help them get a golden, crispy texture in the air fryer.
Air Fry the Donuts:

Place the donuts in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they aren’t overlapping. You may need to work in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
Air fry for 5-6 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Check them halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
Coat the Donuts:

While the donuts are cooling slightly, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl. Once the donuts are done, immediately dip them into the sugar mixture, coating them on both sides.
Optional Glaze:

For an extra sweet touch, make the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled donuts for a sweet, smooth finish.
Serve:

Enjoy your homemade air fryer donuts warm, fresh out of the fryer, or let them cool slightly for a soft, melt-in-your-mouth treat.
