Instructions

1. Prepare the Dough:
   • Open the can of biscuit dough and separate the biscuits.
   • Use a small biscuit cutter or the cap of a bottle to cut holes in the center of each biscuit to create the donut shape. Save the centers to make donut holes.
2. Preheat the Air Fryer:
   • Set the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and preheat for 3 minutes.
3. Cook the Donuts:
   • Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray.
   • Place the donuts and donut holes in a single layer, leaving space between them.
   • Air fry for 5-6 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown.
4. Prepare the Glaze:
   • In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
5. Glaze the Donuts:
   • Once the donuts are cool enough to handle, dip the tops into the glaze and let excess drip off.
   • Add sprinkles while the glaze is still wet, if desired.
6. Serve:
   • Allow the glaze to set for 5 minutes before serving.
