Tips Tricks and FAQs
- Don’t forget to make Cinnamon sugar donut holes with the middle of all the doughnuts! Just roll them gently and cook in your Air Fryer for about 3 minutes. Once done, coat with butter and then roll in your cinnamon/ sugar mixture!
- Swap out the cinnamon and sugar for a glaze! To make a glaze, whisk powdered sugar and milk to the desired consistency and then dip your donuts. You can even add sprinkles if you choose.
- To cut the circle you can use a small biscuit cutter or even a very small circular glass, like a shot glass.
Storage
Everytime we have made these donuts we never seem to have any leftovers! If you find yourself with leftovers, you will want to store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Over time they will begin to dry out.
You will want to warm them back up for a few seconds in the microwave.
