How To Make Air Fryer Glazed Donuts

Ingredients Needed For Air Fryer Glazed Donuts

How To Make Air Fryer Glazed Donuts

Use something to punch a hole in the center, I used my biscuit cutters, but anything you have will work.

Spray air fryer basket with cooking oil and place four donuts leaving space to expand. Spray donuts with cooking oil, or brush with melted butter—Air Fry for 5 to 6minutes at 350 degrees F, air fryer setting.

While the donuts are cooking, Mix powdered sugar, vanilla, melted butter, and evaporated milk until thoroughly combined. Place donuts on a cooking resting rack over a baking sheet. Pour the glaze over the donuts, let dry for a couple of minutes, and then reglaze.

TOPPING VARIATIONS TO BISCUIT DONUTS 

When they come out hot, roll in a cinnamon and sugar mixture. If it doesn’t fully stick, brush with butter to help the mixture stick to the donut.

• Make chocolate or even maple glaze to dip donuts in.
• Let the donuts cool slightly, then roll in powdered sugar.
• Eat them plain
• Etc 

There are so many ways to dress up and serve these air fryer donuts. They are so easy but so addictive to eat. 

WHAT TO DO WITH THE HOLES LEFT FROM BISCUIT DOUGH

Don’t throw away the donut holes you cut in the biscuits. Save them and cook them all at once in the air fryer as well. They are bite-size donuts that melt in your mouth. The cooking time will be less as it is a smaller size. Just keep an eye on your donut holes, and pull out when they are looking done.

EXPERT TIPS 

• You can use a small shot glass or anything round to make the center hole if you don’t have a cookie-cutter.
• Make sure to leave space between each donut so they cook evenly in the air fryer. 
  Feel free to check on the donuts, and flip to ensure they are cooking evenly. Depending on how your air fryer cooks, you might need to extend or pull donuts at a different time than in the recipe card.
• Feel free to change up the glaze if you want a different flavor.
• Cook extra donuts and just place the cooked donuts on a cooling rack in a single layer to prevent donuts from sogging up. 

STORING LEFTOVER DONUTS 

You will find these donuts are best when served warm and fresh. But if you have extras, go ahead and let your donuts cool and then store them in an airtight container.

You can store your donuts at room temperature on the counter for a day or two. Or you can freeze your donuts as well. The donuts will freeze for up to 2-3 months when stored properly. 

CAN YOU USE FROZEN DOUGH FOR THESE DONUTS?

Yes, I have had similar results with Pillsbury Frozen Biscuits and generic frozen biscuits.
