- 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions
- Prep. Brush the air fryer basket with olive oil. Preheat the air fryer to 360°F for 2 minutes.
- Cut donuts. Separate the biscuits. Use a small round cutter to remove the centers, creating donut rings and holes.
- Air fry donuts. Place 2 to 4 donut rings in the air fryer, leaving at least 1 inch of space between each. Air fry for 5 minutes.
- Air fry donut holes separately for 3 minutes. Do not cook holes and rings together. Repeat in batches until finished.
- Finish. While warm, coat donuts with the topping of your choice.
Maple Glaze
- Mix. Whisk powdered sugar and maple syrup until smooth. Add milk a little at a time until a thick, drizzleable glaze forms. Dip or drizzle over donuts.
Strawberry Glaze
- Mix. Whisk powdered sugar and milk until smooth and thick. Stir in strawberry extract and food coloring, if using. Dip or drizzle over donuts.
Chocolate Glaze
- Melt. Microwave chocolate chips and milk in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Dip donuts and add sprinkles, if desired.
Cinnamon Sugar Coating
- Coat. Whisk sugar and cinnamon together. Brush warm donuts with melted butter, then roll in cinnamon sugar until coated.
Powdered Sugar Coating
- Coat. Roll warm donuts directly in powdered sugar. For heavier coverage, roll twice.
Notes
- Biscuits. Larger biscuit varieties work best; smaller biscuits cook too quickly.
- Storage. Store donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- Refreshing. Warm donuts in the microwave for 5 to 10 seconds before serving.
