I have not made these
JENNY'S AIR FRYER DONUTS
(makes 8 donuts + 8 holes)
1 can Pillsbury Grands Flaky Layers biscuits (8 biscuits; can use generic
brands as well)
3 tablespoons melted butter
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 to 1 teaspoon cinnamon (adjust to your taste)
4 tablespoons dark brown sugar (try to remove or break up any clumps)
Pinch of allspice
Combine sugar, cinnamon, brown sugar, and allspice in a small (cereal or
soup sized) bowl and set aside.
Remove biscuits from can (do not flatten) and use a 1-inch circle biscuit
cutter to cut the holes out of the center of each biscuit.
Air fry the DONUTS at 350F for 5 minutes (I fried 4 at a time), and air fry
the HOLES at 350F for just 3 minutes (I fried all 8 holes at once).
As each batch of donuts and holes comes out of the fryer, use a pastry brush
to paint butter over the entire surface of each donut and hole.
After each donut and hole is painted with butter, drop into the bowl with
the sugar mixture and coat completely with the mixture. Gently shake off
excess.
Serve donuts and holes warm.
You may need a 7th step, which is to begin the process all over again
because your family will want more of these little goodies!
A few notes:
The only reason at all these take about 15 minutes to make is that you have
to cook the donuts and holes in batches in the air fryer. I guess you could
make them in the oven, too, but I don't think you'd get the perfectly golden
outsides and soft, airy insides like you do with the air fryer.
Of course you could add your own spin to these as well. I can see trying
glaze, powdered sugar, frosting, a spread like Nutella, or even a sweet
drizzle of honey. The possibilities are limitless!
I'm still a total newbie at air frying, but I'm starting to see what all of
the buzz is about. I actually now keep it on my counter (got rid of an old
set of speakers and some decorative stuff that had been there too long
anyway). Counter space is prime real estate in any kitchen, and my Go Wise
Air Fryer has now earned a spot there alongside the microwave, the toaster,
and the Keurig. Welcome to the big show, air fryer.
