Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Biscuit Cutter

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour plus more for kneading the dough
  • 3 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ⅓ cup unsalted butter cut into slices
  • ¾ cup buttermilk

Instructions

  • In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Add butter and cut it into the flour using your fingers or a pastry cutter until crumbly.
  • Pour in buttermilk and mix gently until a soft dough forms.
  • Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead lightly 4–5 times.
  • Pat the dough to about ¾–1 inch thickness, then cut into biscuits.
  • Preheat air fryer to 330°F (165°C) for 2 minutes.
  • Place biscuits in a lined or greased basket, leaving space between them.
  • Air fry at 330°F (165°C) for 8–10 minutes, until risen and golden.
  • Remove and serve warm.

Notes

  • Keep the butter cold for better flaky texture.
  • Do not overwork the dough—light handling keeps biscuits soft.
  • If your air fryer runs hot, check at the 9-minute mark to avoid over-browning.
