Ingredients
Donut Base
- 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 Dough: Separate each canned biscuit and carefully cut a small circle from the center of each biscuit to create a donut shape along with donut holes from the cut-out centers.
- Air Fry Donuts: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Place the donut-shaped biscuits in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry for 5 minutes, then flip each donut and cook for an additional 5 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Make the Glaze: In a bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. If desired, separate the glaze into different bowls and add red or pink food coloring to create festive colors.
- Glaze the Donuts: While the donuts are still warm, dip each donut into the glaze, letting excess drip off. Immediately decorate with assorted Valentine’s Day sprinkles for a festive touch.
- Glaze the Donut Holes: Repeat the glazing and decorating process with the donut holes for a complete Valentine’s treat.
Notes
- Make sure the donuts are warm before glazing to help the glaze stick better.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; work in batches if necessary for even cooking.
- You can customize the glaze colors using your favorite food coloring to match any occasion.
- Serve donuts immediately after glazing for the best texture, or store in an airtight container for up to one day.
