This was one of my first recipes. I think it’s a perfect recipe for any new air fryer user. And it couldn’t be any easier, and if you have kids or a husband with a sweet tooth, they will really love you after this recipe. Here is my recipe for Air Fryer Biscuit Donuts.
This recipe has evolved over the years, I first posted this in 2017, but over the years, I found a few hacks, and I wanted to share, how I get them from tasting likes biscuits to tasting like donuts.
I have created many homemade donut recipes over the years, but it appears that, while the real donuts (with yeast) taste better, this is still one of the most popular recipes. My thought is that it is SO EASY. SO EASY!
Here is the Ingredient I Used in Today’s Recipe–
- 1 can of biscuits (found in the refrigerator section)
- Olive oil Spray
- Melted Butter
- Powdered Sugar
- Milk
Here Are The Simple Steps, Used Today,
- Take the biscuits out of the can.
- Use a biscuit cutter and cut the center out.
- Dip the biscuits into melted butter, leave for about a minute or two.
- Spray your air fryer basket with olive oil.
- Set your soaked biscuits into the air fryer basket.
- Set the temperature to 340 degrees F, air fryer setting, for about 4-6 minutes.
- While the biscuits/donuts are air frying, in a small mixing bowl, mix together the milk and powdered sugar. You are looking for a glaze, that reminds you of glue. You really want it to adhere to your donuts.
- Dip the hot donuts (they will be HOT) into the glaze.
- Plate, serve, and enjoy!
Some of the Most Common Questions Asked About Air Fryer Biscuit Glazed Donuts–
What Type Of Biscuits Do You Find Work The Best?
I always use Grands Pillsbury Flaky, as I think they have a buttery texture and flavor to them, they seem to work the best, for me.
Why Do You Soak Them In Butter?
I did not come up with this recipe. I have been eating these for years, as a child, my grandmother would fry them with oil. After being disappointed with the taste that they came out in the air fryer. I went back to the basics and changed out the oil for butter. You get a better quality donut at the end of the air frying process.

Can You Use Frozen Dough For These Donuts?
Yes, I have had similar results with Pillsbury Frozen Biscuits and generic frozen biscuits.
How Do I Store Leftover Biscuit Dough for Later?
If you are only going to be making a couple of donuts, just put the unused unbaked biscuit dough into an airtight container. Then use the refrigerated biscuit dough in the next day or so. It will not stay longer than that.
How Do I Store Leftover Biscuit Donuts For Later?
These taste much better hot, the quality will diminish as they become cold. The treat is a hot donut taste. But if you don’t eat them all, then place them in an airtight container and place in the refrigerator. Then if you want to heat them up, for another snack/breakfast/dessert, just place back in the air fryer to warm up. (Or use the microwave) The donuts glaze will melt, however.
