Cooking Tips for Perfect Air Fryer Biscuits
Hey there! Want to make your air fryer biscuits extra amazing? Space them about 1 inch apart in your air fryer basket – this lets the hot air flow nicely around them. Keep an eye on them during the last couple minutes since different air fryer brands can cook a bit differently. If you want golden-brown tops, try a super-light brush of melted butter before cooking!
Quick Variations
Make these biscuits your own! Try sprinkling some garlic powder and dried herbs on top before cooking for savory biscuits. For a breakfast treat, dust them with cinnamon sugar right when they come out of the air fryer. You can even add a sprinkle of shredded cheese on top halfway through cooking for cheesy biscuits!
Serving Ideas
These warm, fluffy biscuits are so versatile! Split them open and add eggs and cheese for breakfast sandwiches. Drizzle with honey for a sweet snack, or smother them with sausage gravy for classic biscuits and gravy. They’re also perfect alongside soups and stews. For a fun brunch, set up a biscuit bar with different spreads, jams, and honey!
Storage Tips
Fresh is best with these biscuits! If you have leftovers, let them cool completely, then pop them in an airtight container. They’ll stay good at room temperature for a day, or keep them in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, just give them 1-2 minutes back in the air fryer at 300°F – they’ll taste almost fresh-baked!
