Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 can refrigerated flaky buttermilk biscuits
  • 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted

Utensils needed

  • 1-inch biscuit cutter
  • Small Bowl

Instructions

Step 1
In a small, shallow bowl, mix together sugar and cinnamon and set aside.

Step 2
Remove the biscuits from the can, separate them, and place them on a cutting board. Use a 1-inch round biscuit cutter (or similarly sized bottle cap) to cut holes out of the center of each biscuit.

Step 3
Install a crisper plate in both baskets. Place 4 donuts in a single layer in each basket.

Step 4
Select Zone 1, select AIR FRY, set temperature to 360°F, and set time to 10 minutes. Select MATCH COOK to match Zone 2 setting to Zone 1. Select START/PAUSE to begin cooking.

Step 5
When cooking is complete, remove donuts from baskets.

Step 6
Dip both sides of the warm donuts into the melted butter, place in the cinnamon sugar, and flip to coat both sides. Serve warm.

Step 7
Repeat steps 4–6 to cook the donut holes. Set time for 5 minutes.

Step 8
Alternatively, donuts can be topped with a powdered sugar glaze or a chocolate glaze with toppings of choice such as sprinkles.
