Make light, flaky biscuits with perfectly golden tops using your air fryer. This recipe brings a comforting classic to your table quickly.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 3/4 cup cold buttermilk
  • 4 tablespoons melted butter, for brushing
  • 2 tablespoons honey, for brushing

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  2. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.
  3. Pour in the cold buttermilk. Mix gently with a fork until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat the dough into a rectangle about 3/4 inch thick.
  5. Fold the dough into thirds, like a letter. Turn the dough, pat it down again to 3/4 inch thickness. Repeat this folding process one more time for extra layers.
  6. Pat or roll the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness. Use a biscuit cutter to cut out rounds.
  7. Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
  8. Arrange the biscuits in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not touch. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
  9. Air fry for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the biscuits are cooked through.
  10. While the biscuits cook, combine the 4 tablespoons of melted butter and honey in a small bowl.
  11. Once cooked, immediately brush the tops of the hot biscuits generously with the honey butter mixture.
  12. Serve warm and enjoy the memory.

Notes

  • Keep your butter and buttermilk very cold for the flakiest results.
  • Do not twist the biscuit cutter; press straight down to keep the layers intact.
  • For a richer flavor, you can add 1 teaspoon of sugar to the dry ingredients.
  • Adjust air fryer time based on your specific model; check for doneness at the 8-minute mark.
