Air Fryer Mini-Glazed Biscuit Donuts

This was my kid’s favorite breakfast this week. Nothing like making a homemade biscuit donut in the air fryer. I serve it warm with a sweet glaze, and they love them. For years and years in the south, they used to pan fry these donuts, and you would have biscuit donuts. Today we are making the same recipe only called Air Fryer Glazed Donuts.

Now you can have the perfect donut, without spending hours making your own dough. They are still covered in the icing, so they are oh-so-good.

My family loves donuts, and I love to make homemade yeast donuts, usually on the weekends, when I have lots of time, to watch the dough. This is a HUGE timesaver and it is easy as grabbing a Pillsbury Biscuit Dough in your supermarket.

Here Are The Simple Ingredients You Need, for Air Fryer Glazed Donuts:

• 1 package biscuits, 10 count
• 4 tablespoons melted butter
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2–4 tablespoons milk

I found the mini biscuits at my local grocery store, but I noticed a lot of the grocery stores do not carry them. So this recipe will work if you use the regular size.

The melted butter is key, which is the same way they tasted amazing, in our grandmother’s skillet with lots of oil. Fat adds a great flavor to the biscuit donuts.

Easy Steps to Make These Biscuit Donuts,

1. Layout the biscuits, on a cutting board and then using your biscuit cutter, cut the center out
   
2. Melt your butter, which is a great way to get them to be more donut-like than a biscuit.
   
3. Soak your biscuit in for a minute or two.
   
4. As you dip them, place them in your air fryer basket or air fryer oven tray. Both should be greased with either olive oil spray or non-stick cooking spray.
   
5. Place them into your air fryer, (middle shelf if you have an oven) and set the timer for 4 minutes at 330 degrees F.
6. Remove when golden brown.
   
7. In a small bowl mix your confectionary sugar and milk, add 1 tablespoon of milk in at a time, until you have a glaze, that you can dip the donuts in. You want it not extremely runny, but not hard either.
   
8. Plate, serve, and enjoy!
