How To Make Copycat Duck Donut Donut Holes
Step One: Start by opening the package, and remove the biscuits. Lay them on a cutting board.
Step Two: Using a biscuit cutter, or small bottle cap, punch out the donut holes from the dough.
Step Three: Spray your air fryer basket with cooking spray, and then add your dough to the basket, and set the air fryer temperature to 320 degrees F and set cook time for 3-5 minutes.
Step Four: Dip the cooked donuts in melted butter, and then coat them with the cinnamon/sugar mixture.
Copycat Duck Donut Donut Holes Recipe Tips
- Don’t overcrowd the air fryer – Give the donut holes space to cook evenly.
- Flip halfway through cooking – Ensures all sides are golden and crispy.
- Coat while warm – Brush with melted butter and roll in cinnamon sugar immediately for best results.
- Use fresh biscuits – Refrigerated or older biscuits may not rise properly.
- Get creative with toppings – Try sprinkles, chocolate drizzle, or powdered sugar for variety.

I use a shot glass to cut the holes in the biscuits. Then you have holes and donuts! A few seconds in the microwave for leftovers. Bring them to the office and you will be a big hit!
