Ingredients

For the Donuts

  • Grands Biscuits

For the Icing

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • 3 tablespoon milk
  • sprinkles of your choice

Instructions

For the Donuts

  • Using a 1” donut cutter, cut out the middle of each biscuit.
  • Place 4 donuts at a time in greased air fryer basket.
  • Air fry at donuts at 330 degrees for 4 minutes.
  • Air fry donut holes at 330 degrees for 3 minutes.

For the Icing

  • Combine powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and milk until uniform and smooth.
  • Dip one side of donut into icing and garnish with sprinkles of your choice.

Notes

  1. Choose the Right Biscuits: Opt for Grands Biscuits for a quick and easy base for your air fryer donuts. These biscuits are typically larger and thicker, making them ideal for cutting into donut shapes. Ensure the biscuits are at room temperature before cutting to prevent them from becoming too dense during frying.
  2. Monitor Cooking Time Carefully: Since air fryers vary in temperature and cooking efficiency, keep a close eye on the donuts while they cook to prevent them from over browning. The suggested cooking times of 4 minutes for donuts and 3 minutes for donut holes are a guideline; adjust the cooking time as needed based on the specific model of your air fryer and the desired level of doneness.
  3. Customize Your Icing: While the recipe suggests a simple chocolate icing made with powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and milk, feel free to customize the icing to suit your preferences. You can add vanilla extract for flavor, adjust the consistency by adding more milk or powdered sugar, or experiment with different flavors by incorporating extracts or flavored syrups. Don't forget to have fun with the sprinkles, choosing colors and shapes that complement your donuts.
