Glazed Donuts
Spray SurfaceKid-FriendlyMeal-Prep
A simple powdered sugar glaze takes these air-fried donuts to the next level. Brushing the donuts with melted butter helps the glaze adhere. This page has the complete recipe, plus air frying and glazing tips.
Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (homestyle, not flaky)
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
For the glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 to 3 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Steps
- 01Separate biscuit dough and punch holes, same as the base recipe.
- 02Air fry per the food page instructions.
- 03While the donuts cook, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. It should be thick but pourable. Add milk a teaspoon at a time if needed.
- 04Brush the hot donuts with melted butter, then dip the tops into the glaze.
- 05Place on a wire rack so the glaze drips down the sides. Let set for 5 minutes.
The butter brush before glazing isn't just for flavor. It gives the glaze something to grip. Glazing a dry donut means the glaze slides right off. Butter first, glaze second.
