Recipe Tips
- This recipe is based on frozen biscuits.
- Biscuits can be thawed and then cooked at a slightly higher temp for less time. We didn't find any benefit in this or change in flavor and prefer to cook them frozen.
- For best results, don't forget to flip your biscuits halfway through for even cooking.
- Biscuits will need some air between them, so be sure not to overcrowd your fryer. Cook in batches if necessary.
- You can use parchment paper rather than non-stick spray. Be sure to cook enough biscuits to weigh down the parchment paper so it doesn't blow up into the fan and light on fire.
Common Questions
Biscuits are best served with country white gravy, your favorite fruit preserves, or a smear of butter. Country white gravy is easy to make and really levels up the meal. Fruit preserves or jam are great if you just want a biscuit as a snack, and butter is perfect if you are using the biscuits as a side to complement a larger breakfast.
We love to serve these with air fryer frozen sausage links for a last minute meal!
Biscuits tend to be good for up to 3 days. You can either store them in an airtight or sealed container, or you can freeze them and reheat them at a later time. Although I would recommend you only cook what you plan to eat rather than freezing the cooked biscuits. Primarily because they are already so easy to cook in your air fryer.
