Once you’ve portioned them out, flatten each piece and carve a small hole in the middle – a small lid can serve as a makeshift tool if you don’t have a doughnut cutter.
Next, arrange them in your air fryer, ensuring there’s sufficient room between each doughnut and they’re laid out in a single layer.
A quick four to five minutes is all it takes for them to cook, but do flip them midway to ensure an even, golden brown finish on both sides.
As they sizzle away, get your Biscoff spread melting in the microwave until it reaches a soft consistency.
Once your doughnuts are ready, dip them into the melted spread, dust with icing sugar, and there you have it.
