How to Make Biscuits in an Air Fryer
To make biscuits in an air fryer, you’ll need a few simple ingredients and some basic steps. Start by preheating your air fryer to 390°F (195°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 ½ teaspoons of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Cut in 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ¾ cup of very cold milk, stirring until the dough comes together.
Next, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times to bring it together. Roll the dough out to about ½ inch thickness and use a biscuit cutter to cut out your biscuits. Place the biscuits in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving a little space between each one.
Now, it’s time to cook the biscuits. Air fry them at 375°F (190°C) for about 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Keep an eye on them as cooking times may vary depending on your air fryer model.
Once the biscuits are done, remove them from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving. These air fryer biscuits are best enjoyed fresh and warm, with a pat of butter or your favorite jam.
Making biscuits in an air fryer is a quick and convenient way to enjoy homemade biscuits without the need for an oven. Give it a try and impress your family and friends with these delicious and fluffy treats.

How to Store Leftovers
When you have leftover biscuits from your air fryer batch, it’s important to store them properly to maintain their freshness and flavor. Here are some tips on how to store your biscuit leftovers:
1. Allow the Biscuits to Cool: Before storing your biscuits, make sure they have completely cooled down. This will prevent condensation from forming inside the storage container, which can make the biscuits soggy.
2. Store in an Airtight Container: Place the cooled biscuits in an airtight container to keep them fresh. This will help to prevent them from drying out and becoming stale. You can use a plastic container with a tight-fitting lid or a resealable plastic bag.
3. Refrigerate or Freeze: If you plan to consume the leftovers within a few days, store them in the refrigerator. Place the airtight container in the fridge to keep the biscuits fresh. If you want to store them for a longer period, you can freeze them. Wrap each biscuit individually in plastic wrap or place them in a freezer-safe bag before freezing.
4. Reheating: When you’re ready to enjoy your leftover biscuits, you can reheat them in the air fryer for a few minutes until they are warm and crispy again. Alternatively, you can also reheat them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-10 minutes.
Can You Cook Canned Biscuits in an Air Fryer?
Absolutely!. Air frying canned biscuits is a quick and convenient way to enjoy freshly baked biscuits without the need for an oven.
To cook canned biscuits in an air fryer, start by preheating the air fryer to the recommended temperature specified on the biscuit packaging. Then, carefully place the biscuits in the air fryer basket, making sure to leave enough space between them for proper air circulation.
Cook the biscuits in the air fryer for the recommended time, usually around 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. It’s important to check the biscuits periodically to avoid overcooking or undercooking them.
Once the biscuits are done, carefully remove them from the air fryer using tongs or a spatula. Allow them to cool slightly before serving.
Air-frying canned biscuits result in biscuits that are crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside, just like traditional oven-baked biscuits. It’s a convenient option for those who don’t have access to an oven or want to save time.
So go ahead and give it a try! Cooking canned biscuits in an air fryer is a simple and delicious way to enjoy homemade biscuits in no time.
