Ingredients
Scale
Donut Base
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (approx. 8 biscuits)
- ½ cup melted butter
- ½ cup granulated sugar
Filling
- ½ cup raspberry jelly
Additional
- Oil spray (for air fryer basket and biscuits)
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and lightly spritz the air fryer basket with oil spray to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Biscuits: Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and arrange the biscuits in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, ensuring there is space between them to allow proper air circulation. You may need to cook in batches depending on your air fryer’s capacity.
- Spray Biscuits: Lightly spray the top of the biscuits with oil spray to help achieve a golden and crispy exterior as they cook.
- Air Fry Biscuits: Air fry the biscuits for 5 to 6 minutes until they turn golden brown and cooked through.
- Prepare Jelly Filling: While the biscuits are cooking, place the raspberry jelly into a piping bag fitted with a long, narrow tip such as a Bismarck tip, ready for filling the donuts.
- Butter Dip: Remove the hot biscuits from the air fryer and quickly dunk each one into the melted butter to coat thoroughly.
- Sugar Coating: Toss the butter-coated biscuit donuts in granulated sugar until fully covered for a sweet and slightly crunchy texture.
- Fill Donuts: Insert the tip of the piping bag into the side or center of each donut and gently squeeze to fill the donut with raspberry jelly.
- Serve Warm: Serve these jelly-filled air fryer donuts warm to enjoy the soft, sweet, and slightly crispy delight.
Notes
- If you prefer, you can substitute raspberry jelly with any other jam or preserves of your choice for variety.
- Make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking.
- Use a piping bag tip that can fit through the biscuit dough easily for clean jelly filling.
- These donuts are best enjoyed fresh and warm; leftover donuts can be reheated briefly in the air fryer.
- Using refrigerated biscuit dough simplifies the recipe and skips making dough from scratch.
