Ingredients

  • 1 can jumbo flaky refrigerator biscuits 
  • Cooking oil spray 
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 3 tablespoons milk 
  • 2 cups confectioners’ sugar, plus more for dusting (optional) 
  • 2 teaspoons pure maple syrup 

Utensils needed

  • Biscuit / Cookie Cutter
  • Small Saucepan
  • Whisk

Instructions

Step 1
Insert the crisper plate into the basket and the basket into the unit. Preheat the unit by selecting AIR FRY, setting the temperature to 350°F, and setting the time to 3 minutes. Select START/STOP to begin.

Step 2
Remove the biscuits from the tube and cut out the center of each biscuit with a small, round cookie cutter.

Step 3
Once the unit is preheated, spray the crisper plate with cooking oil. Working in batches, place 4 doughnuts into the basket.

Step 4
Select AIR FRY, set the temperature to 350°F, and set the time to 5 minutes. Select START/STOP to begin.

Step 5
When the cooking is complete, place the doughnuts on a plate. Repeat steps 3 and 4 with the remaining doughnuts.

Step 6
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar, butter, and milk. Heat until the butter is melted, and the sugar is dissolved, about 4 minutes.

Step 7
Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the confectioners’ sugar and maple syrup until smooth.

Step 8
Dip the slightly cooled doughnuts into the maple glaze. Place them on a wire rack and dust with confectioners’ sugar (if using). Let rest just until the glaze sets. Enjoy the doughnuts warm.
