Ingredients
Scale
Donut Base
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough
- ½ cup melted butter
- ½ cup granulated sugar
Filling
- ½ cup raspberry jelly
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and lightly spritz the air fryer basket with oil spray to prevent sticking.
- Arrange Biscuits: Open the tube of refrigerated biscuit dough and place the biscuits in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, spacing them apart to allow air circulation. If necessary, cook in batches.
- Spray Biscuits: Lightly spray the biscuits with oil spray to help them brown evenly during cooking.
- Air Fry Biscuits: Cook the biscuits in the air fryer for 5 to 6 minutes or until they turn a golden brown color.
- Prepare Jelly Filling: While the biscuits cook, transfer the raspberry jelly into a piping bag fitted with a long tip like a Bismarck tip, ready for filling the donuts.
- Butter Dip: Remove the cooked biscuits from the air fryer and immediately dunk each donut into the melted butter to coat them thoroughly.
- Sugar Coating: Toss the butter-coated donuts in granulated sugar, ensuring an even and thorough coating on all sides.
- Fill Donuts: Insert the piping tip into the center of each donut and squeeze the raspberry jelly inside, filling the donut with the sweet jelly.
- Serve Warm: Enjoy the jelly-filled donuts warm for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- You can substitute raspberry jelly with any preferred flavor of jelly or jam.
- If you don’t have a piping bag, use a small plastic bag with a corner snipped off to pipe the jelly.
- Work quickly when dipping in butter and sugar to retain warmth and achieve the best coating.
- Refrigerated biscuit dough creates light and fluffy donuts without the need for yeast or frying in oil.
