Ingredients for Air Fryer Donut Bites

Biscuit dough – Any pre-made, canned biscuit dough will work. I personally prefer Pillsbury Grands Flaky Layers original biscuits.

Oil – I used vegetable oil but any neutral flavoured oil is fine.

Butter – I used salted butter here, just us what you have on hand.

Sugar – Just white, granulated Sugar.

Cinnamon – Ground cinnamon.
