Donuts
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough
- ½ cup melted butter
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup raspberry jelly
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and spritz the basket lightly with oil spray to prevent sticking.
- 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.
- Spray Biscuits: Lightly spray the tops of the biscuits with oil spray to help achieve a golden finish during cooking.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Coat with Sugar: Toss the butter-coated donuts in granulated sugar until they’re thoroughly coated, giving them a sweet and textured finish.
- 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.
- 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.
