Then, spray your air fryer basket with olive oil spray, do not use non-stick spray on your basket. Then, place your biscuit dough (I needed to do it in 2 batches, as you don’t want them crowded)

Lastly, set the temperature to 350 degrees F, for 5 minutes. Then, after 5 minutes, remove the biscuits, place on a cutting board, and place the second batch in the air fryer basket.

Meanwhile in a small mixing bowl, mix together the powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk. Mix well, until everything is well blended. Then, mix well. Wait a few minutes, until the donuts are cooled, and then spread the vanilla frosting on the donuts.
