The Ingredients:

• All purpose flour
• Baking powder
• Kosher salt
• Butter, salted cold and cubed
• Buttermilk. If you don’t have buttermilk on-hand, check out my post on How To Make Buttermilk! It’s super easy, and a great buttermilk substitution. 

How To Air Fryer Biscuits/Instructions: 

1. In a large mixing bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
2. Using a pastry cutter or fork, mix in the butter until combined and butter is about the size of small peas. Stir the buttermilk into the flour mixture until a thick dough forms.
3. Transfer the dough to a clean counter and knead 6 to 7 times until the flour is all incorporated. Don’t overwork the dough. You want to see butter pieces throughout, this makes the biscuits flaky.
4. Form the dough into a 1 1/2- inch circle, and cut the biscuits using a 2 1/2- inch biscuit cutter.
5. Coat the basket of your air fryer with nonstick spray. Place biscuits 2- inches apart in a single layer on the basket. Depending on the size of your air fryer you will be able to fit 4 – 6 biscuits in the basket. Cook at 400°F for 8 – 10 minutes until golden brown!
6. Melt more butter in a small microwave-safe bowl and brush the melted butter on the hot biscuits.

Do You Need To Use Parchment Paper?

No! The great thing about this recipe is the biscuit dough is sturdy enough that it won’t drip or ooze through the rack of your air fryer basket. You certainly could use parchment if you really wanted to, but you absolutely don’t have to!

No Air Fryer? No Problem!

Let’s just say you’ve stumbled on this recipe and you really want to make these buttermilk biscuits, but don’t have an air fryer. This is absolutely no problem! You can easily bake these biscuits on a baking sheet in the oven at 425°F for 10 – 15 minutes! 

Can I Cook Canned Biscuits In An Air Fryer?

There’s no reason you can’t make canned biscuits in the air fryer if you don’t want to make them from scratch. You will need to adjust the temperatures for canned biscuits vs scratch biscuits. Here’s what I do:

1. Coat the rack with nonstick spray.
2. Air fry at 330°F for 7 – 8 minutes. 
3. Since the canned biscuits have sugar in them, I recommend flipping them halfway through, or at least shaking the basket halfway through to ensure they don’t stick to the rack. The sugar in the dough can caramelize slightly and sometimes stick. This also depends on the brand and style of biscuit (flaky vs buttermilk vs Pillsbury Grands biscuits).

Best Way To Reheat Air Fryer Biscuits 

Reheating biscuits in the air fryer is super easy, and really a great way to enjoy them the next day. Here’s what you do:

1. Place the biscuits on the rack. You can use a little cooking spray on the rack if you’re worried about sticking, but you shouldn’t have a problem with that if you’re just reheating!
2. Cook at 350°F for 2 – 3 minutes.
3. Enjoy!

How To Store:

Store your biscuits in an airtight container or zip-top bag at room temperature for up to 2 days. I prefer biscuits the same day they are made, but they will last for a few days if stored correctly. You can also freeze biscuits as well. Place them in an airtight container and store for up to 30 days. Allow them to thaw at room temperature, and reheat!
