Ingredients

Scale

Donuts

  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough
  • ½ cup melted butter
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup raspberry jelly

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and spritz the basket lightly with oil spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare the Biscuits: Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and arrange the biscuits in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Make sure to leave space between each biscuit for proper air circulation; you might need to cook them in batches.
  3. Spray Biscuits: Lightly spray the tops of the biscuits with oil spray to help achieve a golden finish during cooking.
  4. Air Fry the Donuts: Cook the biscuits in the air fryer for 5 to 6 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Prepare the Jelly Filling: While the donuts are air frying, place the raspberry jelly into a piping bag fitted with a long nozzle tip, such as a Bismarck tip, for easy filling.
  6. Coat with Butter: Once cooked, remove the biscuits from the air fryer and quickly dunk each one into the melted butter, ensuring they are fully coated for extra flavor and moisture.
  7. Coat with Sugar: Toss the butter-coated donuts in granulated sugar until they’re thoroughly coated, giving them a sweet and textured finish.
  8. Fill the Donuts: Insert the piping bag tip into the center of each donut and gently squeeze to fill with raspberry jelly, allowing the jam to ooze inside.
  9. Serve Warm: Serve the jelly donuts immediately while warm for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute raspberry jelly with any other fruit jam or jelly of your choice.
  • Make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking.
  • Use a long piping tip to easily inject the jelly into the donuts without breaking the dough.
  • These donuts are best enjoyed fresh but can be warmed up slightly before serving if prepared ahead.
  • For a dairy-free option, swap melted butter with a dairy-free alternative.
