Ever wonder if you can put canned refrigerator biscuits in the air fryer? Well, you definitely can! We love this trick for making biscuits super quick and skipping the oven preheat. Air Fryer Biscuits are perfect for an easy breakfast or weeknight meals when you are in a time crunch!
Can I Put Biscuits in the Air Fryer?
You sure can! Those canned refrigerated biscuits are perfect for the air fryer. Think Pillsbury Grands Biscuits or Annie’s Flaky Biscuits. We have tried this with buttermilk biscuits as well as a couple of the other varieties.
How to Make Air Fryer Biscuits
To make air fryer biscuits you will skip preheating the air fryer. You do NOT need to preheat the air fryer. Preheating the air fryer will make it too hot and could burn or over cook the biscuits.
Spray the bottom of the air fryer with non-stick cooking spray so they will easily release. Then, place the raw biscuit dough on the bottom of the air fryer basket in a single layer. Leave a little room around each biscuit so they can cook evenly and do not stack the biscuits.
Then, cook at 330 degrees for 8 minutes. After 8 minutes check the biscuits, depending on the size of your air fryer the biscuits may be done or they may need a few more minutes. Bake until they are cooked through and golden brown. Depending on the size of your air fryer you may need to cook for a little more or a little less time. Our air fryer is on the smaller side and the biscuits are usually done in 8-10 minutes.
Also, this will probably take two batches since there are 8 biscuits in a package. The second batch will cook much faster since the air fryer is already hot. If you are able, let the air fryer cool for about 10 minutes before air frying a second batch.
