Using canned biscuits to make donuts is a quick and easy method for a homemade treat. The air fryer adds a healthier twist by reducing the need for deep frying, and using a suitable oil like light olive oil or canola oil enhances the outcome.
Ingredients
- 1 can of refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1-2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- Light olive oil or canola oil spray for spraying
Instructions
Prepare the Donuts
- Open the Can: Begin by opening the can of biscuit dough.
- Shape the Donuts: Separate the biscuits and use a small cutter to create a hole in the center, forming donut shapes.
Cook the Donuts
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare for Cooking: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with light olive oil or canola oil spray. These oils have a high smoke point, making them ideal for air frying.
- Place the Donuts: Arrange the biscuits in the air fryer basket in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding.
- Cook: Air fry for about 5-6 minutes or until golden brown. Flip them halfway through for even browning.
Make Cinnamon Sugar Coating
- Combine Ingredients: Mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a shallow dish.
- Coat the Donuts: Roll the warm donuts in the cinnamon sugar mixture until well coated.
Serving
- Serve the cinnamon sugar donuts warm for optimal taste and texture.
Tips
- Avoid Overcrowding: Cook in batches if necessary for even cooking.
- Adjust Cooking Time: Cooking time might slightly vary based on your air fryer model.
