These buttery, flaky Air Fryer Biscuits are golden brown on the outside and soft on the inside. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a side for dinner!

Ingredients

Scale

For Homemade Biscuits

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 6 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • ¾ cup buttermilk

For Serving (Optional)

  • Butter for brushing (melted)
  • Honey, jam, or gravy

Shortcut Option

  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (like Pillsbury)
  • Frozen biscuits (adjust cook time as needed)

Instructions

  1. Make the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter, fork, or your hands until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Slowly add the buttermilk and mix gently until a soft dough forms.
  2. Roll & Cut the Biscuits: Lightly flour a surface and roll out the dough to ½-inch thickness. Use a biscuit cutter or a round glass to cut out biscuits. Gather scraps and repeat until all dough is used.
  3. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). If your air fryer doesn’t require preheating, skip this step.
  4. Air Fry the Biscuits: Place biscuits in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they don’t touch. Air fry for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Serve & Enjoy: Brush the warm biscuits with melted butter and serve immediately. Enjoy with honey, jam, butter, or even sausage gravy!

Notes

  • Cold butter is key! Keeping the butter cold helps create flaky layers.
  • Don’t overmix the dough—this keeps the biscuits light and tender.
  • Spacing matters! Leave room in the air fryer basket so air circulates evenly.
  • For extra flavor, brush biscuits with melted butter or sprinkle with sea salt before serving.
  • Reheat leftovers in the air fryer at 325°F for 2–3 minutes to crisp them back up.
