Ingredients
Donuts
- 16 ounces canned biscuits (8 count)
Glaze
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 4 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Red and pink food coloring (optional)
- Assorted Valentine’s Day sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare the biscuit donuts: Separate the canned biscuits and cut out a circle from the center of each biscuit to create a donut shape. Keep the small circles (donut holes) aside for glazing later.
- Air fry the donuts: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F. Place the prepared biscuit donuts in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 5 minutes, then carefully flip each donut and cook for an additional 5 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Make the glaze: In a bowl, combine powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps. Optionally, add a few drops of red or pink food coloring and mix until evenly tinted.
- Glaze the donuts: While the donuts are still warm, dip each one into the glaze to coat thoroughly. Then, sprinkle assorted Valentine’s Day sprinkles over the glazed donuts for a festive touch.
- Glaze the donut holes: Dip the small biscuit circles (donut holes) into the glaze as well and coat with sprinkles to complete the set.
Notes
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary to ensure even cooking.
- For a thicker glaze, add more powdered sugar; for a thinner glaze, add more milk.
- Use non-stick spray or parchment paper if your air fryer basket tends to stick.
- Serve the donuts fresh for the best texture and flavor.
