Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
3/4 cup buttermilk, cold
1 tablespoon melted butter (optional, for brushing)
Directions:
Prepare the Dough:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Pour in the cold buttermilk and gently stir until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Shape the Biscuits:
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a rectangle about 1-inch thick.
Use a biscuit cutter or a round glass to cut out biscuits, re-rolling the scraps as needed.
Air Fry the Biscuits:
Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 3 minutes.
Place the biscuits in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they don’t touch.
Air fry for 8-10 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
Serve:
If desired, brush the warm biscuits with melted butter before serving.
Enjoy these fluffy Air Fryer Biscuits fresh from the air fryer, perfect with butter, jam, or as a side to your favorite meal.
Serving Tips:
Fresh from the Air Fryer: For the best texture and flavor, enjoy the biscuits right after they come out of the air fryer. They’ll be warm, soft, and buttery.
With Toppings: Serve with a variety of toppings like butter, honey, jam, or gravy. They’re also delicious alongside soups, stews, or as a base for sandwiches.
For a Brushed Finish: Brush the biscuits with melted butter right before serving to enhance their flavor and give them a glossy finish.
Storage Tips:
Room Temperature: If you have leftover biscuits, store them at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Refrigeration: For longer storage, refrigerate the biscuits in an airtight container for up to 1 week. To enjoy, reheat them in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 2-3 minutes to restore their crispness.
Freezing: You can freeze the biscuits for up to 3 months. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet to freeze them individually, then transfer them to a freezer bag or container. To reheat, bake from frozen in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 5-6 minutes or until heated through.

FAQs:
Can I use self-rising flour instead of all-purpose flour?
Yes, you can use self-rising flour. However, if you use self-rising flour, omit the baking powder, salt, and baking soda from the recipe, as self-rising flour already contains these leavening agents.
How do I prevent the biscuits from sticking to the air fryer basket?
To prevent sticking, lightly grease the air fryer basket or line it with parchment paper. Ensure there’s enough space between each biscuit to allow for even cooking and air circulation.
Can I make the biscuit dough ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. When ready to bake, bring the dough to room temperature, then shape and air fry as directed.
What can I do if the biscuits come out too dry?
If the biscuits turn out dry, it might be due to overmixing the dough or baking them too long. To prevent this, mix the dough just until it comes together and keep an eye on them while air frying to avoid overcooking. If they’re already dry, consider serving them with a bit of butter or gravy to add moisture.
Conclusion:
These Air Fryer Biscuits are not only easy to make but also a great way to enjoy homemade biscuits without the need for an oven. Perfect for busy mornings or quick dinners, this recipe is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen.
