Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (13.8 ounce) can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg white
- 1 teaspoon water
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Cut each biscuit into four equal pieces to make 32 small dough balls.
- In a small bowl, whisk the egg white and water together until slightly frothy. Brush the dough balls lightly with this mixture.
- Preheat your air fryer to 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 3 minutes.
- Place the dough balls in the air fryer basket in a single layer, working in batches if necessary. Do not overcrowd the basket.
- Air fry for 5 to 7 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the bites are puffed and lightly golden brown.
- While the bites cook, combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a medium bowl.
- Remove the cooked pretzel bites from the air fryer basket and immediately place them in the bowl with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Drizzle the melted butter over the warm bites while tossing gently to coat them evenly.
- Return the coated bites to the air fryer basket and air fry for an additional 1 to 2 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit to set the coating and increase crispiness.
- Serve warm.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, ensure the dough pieces are not touching when you place them in the air fryer basket for the initial cook.
- If you prefer a thicker coating, increase the cinnamon sugar mixture to 1/3 cup sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon.
- If you do not have biscuit dough, you can use refrigerated pizza dough cut into small squares.
