Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups All purpose flour Spoon it into the measuring cup and level it off.
  • 1 tbsp Baking powder Ensure it's fresh for proper rising.
  • 1 tsp Salt Enhances flavor.
  • 1 tbsp Sugar Aids in browning and flavor balance.

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Cold butter Must be cold to create flaky texture.
  • 3/4 cup Milk or buttermilk Buttermilk adds tenderness; regular milk works as well.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (180°C) for about 3 minutes.
  • In a bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  • Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Add the milk or buttermilk and stir just until the dough comes together.
  • Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently pat into about 3/4 inch thick.
  • Cut biscuits with a round cutter or the rim of a glass, pressing straight down without twisting.
  • Arrange the biscuits in the air fryer basket with a little space between them.

Cooking

  • Air fry the biscuits for 6 to 9 minutes, until golden and cooked through. Watch closely during the first batch.
  • Brush with butter immediately after cooking for a richer flavor.

Notes

Keep everything cold to ensure flaky biscuits. Do not overmix the dough and watch the first batch for doneness.
