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)
Toppings
- Assorted Valentine's Day sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare the Donuts: Separate the canned biscuits and cut out a small circle from the center of each biscuit to create donut shapes. Keep the small circles as donut holes.
- Air Fry the Donuts: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F. Place the donut-shaped biscuits in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not touching. Air fry for 5 minutes, then carefully flip each donut and cook for an additional 5 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Make the Glaze: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until the glaze is smooth and slightly thick but still pourable. Add a few drops of red and pink food coloring if desired for a festive look.
- Glaze the Donuts and Holes: While the donuts are still warm, dip each donut into the glaze, allowing any excess to drip off. Immediately sprinkle with the assorted Valentine's Day sprinkles to decorate. Repeat the process with the donut holes.
Notes
- Don’t overcrowd the air fryer to ensure even cooking and crispy edges.
- If your glaze is too thick, add a little more milk to thin it out.
- Use a toothpick or small cookie cutter to cut the biscuit centers.
- Serve donuts warm for the best texture and flavor.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days; reheat briefly in the air fryer before serving.
