Yield: 4 servings
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 9–11 minutes
Total Time: 19–21 minutes
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 cup flour
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup butter, cut into tiny cubes
- ¼ cup buttermilk, plus 2 tablespoons
- Cooking spray
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Begin by preheating your air fryer to 330°F—a necessary step in the transformation of simple ingredients into delectable biscuits.
- In a medium bowl, assemble the foundation of your biscuits. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, allowing the flavors to mingle.
- Embrace the traditional technique of incorporating butter. Add the tiny cubes of butter and cut them into the flour using either knives or a pastry blender, creating a crumbly texture that’s integral to biscuit perfection.
- Introduce the soul of your biscuits— the buttermilk. Add the ¼ cup of buttermilk and stir until a stiff dough forms, blending all the elements into a harmonious whole.
- Divide the dough into four portions, shaping each portion into a substantial biscuit. If the dough proves too sticky to handle, incorporate 1 or 2 more tablespoons of flour before shaping, ensuring the biscuits hold their shape during cooking.
- Ensure the air fryer basket is ready for its role by coating it with nonstick cooking spray—a detail that ensures a smooth release and enticing results.
- With care, place the shaped biscuits in the basket of your air fryer, allowing them to undergo their transformation at 330°F for 9 to 11 minutes—a process that marries heat and time to produce the perfect biscuit.
VARIATIONS:
- Cheese Infusion: Elevate the flavor profile by folding in a handful of grated cheddar, Parmesan, or your favorite cheese.
- Herb Harmony: Introduce a touch of freshness by adding a sprinkle of dried herbs such as rosemary, thyme, or chives.
