WHAT BISCUITS WORK BEST FOR AIR FRYER DONUTS?

We prefer to use large flakey layered biscuits. They have the best taste overall during our taste testing.

MORE DONUT TOPPING IDEAS:

  • Mocha Glaze
  • Cream Cheese Glaze
  • Maple Glaze

RECIPE NOTES:

  • We use the Cuisinart Air Fryer, so the timing may vary for other air fryers.
  • We highly recommend flakey layer biscuits, but this will still work with regular refrigerated biscuits.
  • If the chocolate glaze is too thick you can thin it with more water, 1 teaspoon at a time.
