FAQs

How do I keep biscuits flaky?

Use cold butter and avoid over‑mixing the dough, which helps create flaky layers.

Can I use regular flour instead of self‑rising flour?

Yes — mix all‑purpose flour with baking powder and salt to make your own self‑rising substitute.

Can I cook frozen or canned biscuits in the air fryer?

Yes — frozen or refrigerated biscuits can be cooked in the air fryer; they just may take slightly longer.

Do I need to flip biscuits while cooking?

Flipping halfway through helps them brown evenly.

What air fryer temperature should I use?

About 350 °F (180 °C) works well for homemade biscuits.

Can I add herbs or cheese?

Absolutely — fold in your favorite extras before cooking.

How long do they stay fresh?

At room temperature, about 3 days; in the fridge, up to a week.

Can I freeze the dough before cooking?

Yes — you can freeze shaped dough and air fry from frozen, but it might need a few extra minutes.

Should I grease the air fryer basket?

Yes — greasing helps prevent sticking and promotes even cooking.

What’s the best way to reheat leftovers?

Using the air fryer for a couple of minutes brings back crispness, or microwave until warm.

These air fryer biscuits are a game‑changer for anyone who wants classic, flaky biscuits without heating up the oven. With minimal ingredients, easy steps, and flexible variations, they’re a quick and satisfying treat any time of day.
