Description
The air fryer has rapidly become one of the most popular kitchen appliances, and it’s easy to see why. It can cook a wide range of foods quickly and efficiently while maintaining a deliciously crispy texture. One of the best-kept secrets in air frying is how amazing it is for baking biscuits. Whether you’re making canned, homemade, or frozen biscuits, the air fryer ensures you get perfectly golden, flaky, and soft biscuits every time.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can of refrigerated biscuits (such as Pillsbury Grands)
- Cooking spray or parchment paper (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 350°F and preheat it for about 3 minutes. Although air fryers don’t always require preheating, it helps ensure more even cooking for biscuits.
- Prepare the Basket: Spray the air fryer basket with a light coat of cooking spray or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Arrange the Biscuits: Place the biscuits in a single layer in the basket. Make sure they are not touching each other for better airflow and even cooking.
- Cook the Biscuits: Air fry at 350°F for 6 minutes. After 6 minutes, flip the biscuits and cook for another 3-4 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Check for Doneness: Insert a toothpick or knife into the center of a biscuit to check if it’s fully cooked. If it comes out clean, the biscuits are ready.
- Serve: Serve your freshly baked biscuits with butter, jam, or use them as the base for a breakfast sandwich.
Notes
Pro Tip: If your air fryer has a small basket, you may need to cook the biscuits in batches to avoid overcrowding, which can lead to uneven cooking.
