Steps
01Open the biscuit dough and separate into 8 rounds.
02Use a 1-inch round cookie cutter or bottle cap to punch a hole in the center of each round. Save the holes. Those are your donut holes.
03That's your prep. Seriously. These are ready for the air fryer.
04While they cook, mix the sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl. Have the melted butter ready.
05As soon as the donuts come out of the air fryer, brush with melted butter and roll in the cinnamon sugar. Do this while they're hot or the sugar won't stick.
Use the standard Pillsbury Grands or store-brand equivalent. The flaky/layered biscuit dough puffs up unevenly and the layers separate. The plain homestyle kind puffs into a smooth, round donut shape.
