Why This Is Better Than Using the Oven

The air fryer is the best way to make frozen biscuits because it cooks them so quickly. It’s much faster than using your oven, which can take up to 20 minutes or more to preheat.

This is a perfect breakfast or brunch option for those busy mornings or lazy weekends when you want something easy and satisfying. Serve them with a side of Breakfast Potatoes and Manmosa for a fun brunch idea with your pals.

Easily customize this recipe to suit your tastes. You could try using different types of biscuits, like cheddar or cinnamon, or add in some extra ingredients like chopped bacon and jalapenos.

These flaky biscuits are the perfect addition to any breakfast or brunch menu. You can serve them with classic breakfast sides like scrambled eggs, Air Fryer Bacon, and Air Fryer Sausage Patties.

Or keep it simple and enjoy a warm biscuit smothered in butter, with fresh fruit and a Vegan Pumpkin Spice Latte.

You can also use them as the base for a breakfast sandwich with your favorite toppings, such as egg, cheese, avocado, and a dash of hot sauce.

And if you’re feeling indulgent, why not try making Air Fryer Chicken Fried Steak to eat alongside your biscuits? The possibilities are endless.

Tips And Tricks for Biscuit Perfection ๐Ÿฅ‡

  • Do not thaw the biscuits before air frying because as they defrost, they will get sticky and stick to the basket.
  • If you are air frying multiple batches and your air fryer basket is hot, you may want to spray the bottom of the air fryer basket before placing biscuits in them so they do not stick. 
  • You can brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter and your favorite herbs right when they come out of the air fryer if you want to take this recipe to the next level. Melted butter and fresh parsley are one of my favorite combinations but melted butter with Everything But The Bagel Seasoning would also be delicious!
  • You can cook as many biscuits as you want in the air fryer, as long as they fit comfortably in the basket and aren’t overcrowded.
