Instructions
Prep the Dough
Open the biscuit dough and separate all 8 biscuits on a clean surface. Use a small round cookie cutter or the cap of a water bottle to cut a hole in the center of each biscuit creating the classic donut shape.
Air Fry the Donuts
Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place donuts in a single layer without overlapping and air fry at 350 degrees for 5 to 6 minutes until puffed and golden brown on both sides.
Make the Coating
While the donuts cook, combine sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl. Place the melted butter in a separate bowl ready for dipping.
Coat and Serve
Working quickly while the donuts are still hot, dip each one in melted butter on both sides, then roll generously in the cinnamon sugar mixture. Serve immediately for the best texture.
