Air Fryer Cheddar Biscuits
Air Fryer Cheddar Biscuits are flaky, golden, and packed with cheesy flavor. Made with simple ingredients, these biscuits cook quickly in the air fryer, creating a crispy crust and a soft, buttery interior without the need for an oven.
Equipment
- Air-fryer For baking the biscuits evenly
- Mixing bowl For preparing the biscuit dough
- Parchment Paper Prevents sticking in the air fryer basket
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour for the biscuit base
- 1 tablespoon baking powder to help the biscuits rise
- ½ teaspoon salt adjust to taste
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder optional, for extra flavor
- ½ cup butter cold and cubed
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- ¾ cup milk or buttermilk to bring the dough together
- 2 tablespoons butter melted, for brushing
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even baking.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder. Stir until well combined.
- Cut in the cold butter using a fork or pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the shredded cheddar cheese and mix to distribute evenly.
- Pour in the milk or buttermilk and stir until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits light and fluffy.
- Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a piece of parchment paper and place in the air fryer basket.
- Air fry for 8-10 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
- Brush the biscuits with melted butter while still warm for extra richness.
- Serve warm on their own or with your favorite meal.
Notes
- For extra crispy biscuits, increase the air fryer temperature to 375°F (190°C) during the last 2 minutes.
- Substituting half of the cheddar with parmesan adds more depth of flavor.
- These biscuits pair well with soups, salads, or as a side for breakfast dishes.
