Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to optimal temperature, ensuring a consistent cooking environment for the biscuit dough.

- Cook the dough bites at the recommended temperature, gently shaking the basket midway through the cooking cycle to guarantee uniform browning.
- Verify doneness by checking for a rich, golden-brown color and a crisp texture throughout each bite.
- While the dough pieces are still warm, generously brush them with melted butter to enhance flavor and create a surface for coating.
- Combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a spacious sealable container, creating a fragrant coating mixture.
- Transfer the warm, buttered dough bites into the container with the cinnamon-sugar blend, securing the lid and gently tumbling to ensure complete coverage.
