This is what gives your donuts that deep-fried texture without any grease. It’s pretty incredible!
How to Cut Center Out of Biscuit Dough
Don’t have a cookie cutter small enough? That’s ok! Look around your kitchen for something circular, like a shot glass, small cup, or bottle cap.
Toppings For Homemade Donuts
Looking for ways to dress up your homemade biscuits? Here are a handful of ideas of how you can top your pretty homemade donuts!
- Powdered Sugar
- Cinnamon and Sugar
- Sprinkles
- Homemade icing
- Glazed style donuts
- Eat plain
Truly the options are endless! Depending on our mood will depend on what I roll our warm donuts in or top them with!
Do Canned Biscuit Donuts Store Well
Not really. Just like any other “fried” food, it is best served fresh. If you put any sugar on the donuts it kind of melts as time goes on.
These canned biscuit donuts are best when served warm. You can save leftovers but they won’t taste near as good as day one.
What to Do With Donut Hole Dough
Cook it of course! Make little bite-size donut holes for kiddos or yourself. Just lower cooking time so these smaller dough pieces don’t overcook.
Which Is Better Air Fryer or Ninja Foodi
What’s amazing here is both machines work the same. The Ninja Foodi is an Instant Pot and Air Fryer in one essentially. You simply change out the lid for each method of cooking you want.
So if you are looking to invest, just think would you benefit from a pressure cooker as well, or maybe just want Air Fryer only. Either way, both the Air Fryer and the Foodi are both highly recommended in my book!

These donuts look good. I have an Instant Pot Duo, but not the new air fryer lid the company just put out. I’m a little confused, I didn’t realized it was called a Ninja lid. Can these be cooked in just an air fryer?
Yes
The Ninja is A Different Brand. I am not sure if you can use the new air crisp kid that InstantPot just but out with your Duo. My understanding is it is only available with the Duo Crisp or you Could get a Ninja Foodi…
the one I have is the Ninja foodi Grill.
it comes with a crisper basket, a cleaning brush, and
veggie basket
Is the Ninja also a grill ?
Has anyone air fried regular home made doughnut dough in an air fryer? If so, would the temp and time be about the same as for this recipe?
