How To Make Air Fryer Biscuits
Now I don't hate canned biscuits, they have their job when you are in a huge time crunch. But, nothing beats a warm fresh biscuit that you can add a dollop of butter or spread on some jelly or jam. This is something I grew up eating and still love today.
Air Fryer Biscuit Recipe
Instead of the traditional route to making biscuits in the oven, I reached for the Air Fryer. It gives you that golden brown texture on the outside of the biscuit with a flaky and warm center. Trust me, this recipe is worth trying.
Are Buttermilk Biscuits The Same As Scones
Crazy as it sounds this is a valid question. One of the biggest differences between the two recipes is scones have eggs in ingredients and biscuits do not. Then a lot of times the scones will be mixed with herbs, fruit, or topped with a glaze. But, in a sense, the base of the recipe can be similar.
How Do You Store Air Fryer Biscuits
Allow your biscuits to fully cool, and then transfer them to an airtight container or sealable bag. Then tuck your biscuits in the fridge for up to one week. Or if you want to keep them on the counter they will last 2-3 days tops. I find that storing in the fridge offers a longer shelf life, and prevents less waste.
Can you air fry frozen biscuits?
Preheat your Air Fryer to 320, for 5 mins. Put the frozen biscuits in the air fryer basket, or rack for 4 minutes on 1 side, then flip and cook the biscuits an additional 6 minutes on the other side.
Why Won't My Air Fryer Biscuits Rise
For best results, ensure that you are using cold butter every single time and that your baking powder is still good. A lot of times baking powder can go bad and you will add it to a recipe and find your dish falls flat, and this is the last thing we want with the biscuits.
How to Know If Baking Powder Is Still Good
To know if your baking powder is still good, you simply take a teaspoon and pour it into a bowl that is oven safe. Then boil water, and pour about ¼ cup of water onto the baking powder. If it begins to bubble and fizz, the powder is still good. If not, it is time to buy new.
Best Way To Reheat Air Fryer Biscuits
If you want fluffy biscuits like when you first cooked them, place them evenly in the AF basket or Air Fryer oven rack in a single layer. Toss in the Air Fryer oven at 300 degrees and heat until the biscuits are fully warmed up. If you find the oven is over-cooking the outside of the biscuits, make a tent out of aluminum foil and place it over the biscuits to prevent further browning.

I made these air fryer Buttermilk biscuits just as instructed - they were DELICIOUS!! Flaky, tender and easy - I used a parchment insert to bake mine because I didn't have a pan that fit but it worked perfectly!
This morning we had leftover biscuits with lemon curd 😊 if you want the recipe I'd gladly share💕
Thanks again❣

This biscuit recipe looks absolutely perfect. Unfortunately, I’ll have to monitor my Air Fryer closely the first time since it’s locked at 228 °C (442 °F). However, I do benefit from a rotating mesh basket. What’s a few minutes in one's life for an opportunity to taste those biscuits of yours.
Great site, btw! 👍😊
