How To Cut Donuts
If you don’t have a donut cutter, it’s still easy to cut donuts. You can use a drinking cup, canning jar or biscuit cutter to cut the large circle. Then use something small like an egg cup to cut the holes out of the center.
How To Make Donut Holes
Donut holes need to be kept to the size of a golf ball so that they bake properly. You can easily cut these out with a small, round cookie cutter. In fact, you can often get biscuit cutters in different-sized sets that are perfect for cutting donuts in general.
How To Make Donut Glaze
If you prefer glazed donuts to a frosted topping, it’s easy to make. Here’s is a recipe for donut glaze from the Food Network.

How To Make Donuts In An Air Fryer
Pre-heat air fryer to 350 degrees.
Cut a circle out of the centers of the biscuits. A shot glass works perfectly if you do not have a tiny cookie cutter on hand. You can roll the centers of the biscuits into balls to make donut holes.
Lightly spray the biscuits with cooking spray.
Place in the air fryer for 4-6 minutes or until biscuits have browned. Remove from air fryer and transfer to a cooling rack. Cool for at least 10 minutes. You don’t want the frosting to melt off of the donuts!
Frost the donuts.
Add your sprinkles and enjoy!
