Ingredients
Donettes Ingredients
- 1 package of refrigerated biscuits (full size or mini)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- Cooking spray, as needed for greasing
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). If your air fryer model does not need preheating, you can skip this step.
- Prepare the Biscuits: Open the can of refrigerated biscuits and separate each biscuit, laying them out flat on a clean surface.
- Shape the Donettes: Using a small round cookie cutter or the rim of a small glass, carefully cut a hole in the center of each biscuit to create the classic donut shape.
- Air Fry the Donettes: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Place the shaped donettes in a single layer in the basket without overlapping. Depending on your air fryer’s capacity, you may need to cook in multiple batches.
- Cook: Air fry the donettes at 350°F (175°C) for 4 to 6 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Watch closely to avoid overcooking, as times may vary depending on your appliance.
- Coat with Powdered Sugar: Remove the warm donettes from the air fryer and immediately place them in a bowl of powdered sugar. Gently roll them around until evenly coated, then shake off any excess sugar.
- Serve: Serve your air-fried Copycat Hostess Powdered Donettes while warm for the best taste and texture. Enjoy!
Notes
- For best results, use fresh refrigerated biscuits rather than frozen ones.
- Adjust cooking time based on the size of the biscuits and your specific air fryer model.
- You can experiment with different coatings such as cinnamon sugar or glaze instead of powdered sugar.
- Ensure donettes are spaced adequately in the air fryer for even cooking.
- Serve immediately as donettes are best enjoyed fresh and warm.
