Step 1
Open biscuit can and separate dough into 8 individual biscuits.
Step 2
Using your thumb, poke a hole through the center of each biscuit and gently stretch into a donut ring.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together sugar, cinnamon, and salt until evenly combined.
Step 4
Lightly spray air fryer basket with cooking spray. Arrange donuts in a single layer without touching.
Step 5
Air fry at 350°F for 6 minutes until golden and puffed, rotating basket halfway through.
Step 6
Transfer donuts to a plate while still warm. Brush both sides generously with melted butter.
Step 7
Immediately roll donuts in cinnamon-sugar mixture, coating all sides until completely covered.
Step 8
Serve warm. Donuts are best eaten within 2 hours but stay soft in an airtight container overnight.
