Equipment

  • Air Fryer

  • icing tip or bottle top to cut donut hole in biscuits

Ingredients
  

  • 16 oz package refrigerated buttermilk biscuits

  • Spray your air fryer bottom with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Place your biscuits in the air fryer about 1 inch apart to avoid sticking together
  • Air fry your biscuits at 350 degrees for 5 minutes or until baked throughout. 
  • For the glaze, in a small bowl whisk together powdered sugar, milk, lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon lemon zest until desired consistency. You may need to add more or less milk to reach your preferred glaze consistency.
  • Dip donuts top side down into your bowl of glaze and then pick straight up and flip it over glazed side up.
  • Sprinkle the Remaining lemon Zest (1 tablespoon) over the glazed donuts
  • Serve Warm or cooled

Notes

These donuts taste best when fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 days.
