My sons and I love doughnuts, but in the Florida heat, I rarely want to deep-fry them. I made this easy version in my air fryer, and it turned out so well with no mess!
Takes: 25 min.
Makes: 8 Doughnuts + 8 Doughnut Holes
- 1 tube (16.3 oz.) large refrigerated buttermilk biscuits (8 count)
- ¾ cup sugar
- 2 tsp. ground cinnamon
- ¼ cup butter, melted
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
1. Preheat air fryer to 375°. Separate biscuits. Cut out centers using a 1-in. cutter; save centers. In batches, place doughnuts in a single layer on greased tray in air-fryer basket. Cook until golden brown and puffed, turning once, about 5 minutes. In batches, cook doughnut holes until golden brown, 3-4 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, in a shallow dish, combine sugar and cinnamon. In a separate bowl, mix melted butter and vanilla. Brush doughnuts and doughnut holes with butter; toss in sugar mixture. Serve doughnuts warm.
