Equipment
- Medium bowl
- Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 2 cups self-rising flour
- ½ cup unsalted butter 1 stick. We recommend freezing then grating the butter. You can also simply chop the cold butter into small ½ inch cubes.
- ¾ cup milk Whole milk is best but 1 or 2 percent will work as well.
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, add flour and frozen grated butter.
- 2 cups self-rising flour,½ cup unsalted butter
- Use a pastry cutter or two forks to incorporate butter until mixture is crumbly and resembles a coarse meal.
- Add milk and stir to combine to form a dough. Add more milk, if necessary, a splash at a time, until dough holds together into a ball.
- Spray air fryer basket with cooking spray (canola, not olive oil) or coat with soft butter.
- Scoop up a heaping tablespoon of dough, form it into a ball, and place it into the air fryer basket. Repeat 5 times with remaining dough. It's okay, and even desirable, if the biscuits touch each other.
- Return basket to air fryer, set the temperature to 325 F (162 C), and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown. Begin checking for doneness at 10 minutes.
- Remove basket from fryer and set aside to cool for a few minutes. Serve biscuits warm with butter and jam.
Notes
Be sure to use very cold butter and milk. Freezing then grating the butter really helps. At the very least, keep it refrigerated until ready to use. Keep milk refrigerated as well.
Try not to overwork the dough. Stir just until no flour streaks remain.
Every air fryer is different. Check the biscuits for doneness at 9-10 minutes. If you feel they are getting too brown, drop the temperature to 320 F (160 C) and finish baking until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Do not lay loose foil over the top of the biscuits as they are baking. An air fryer works by blowing hot air over and around the food. Loose foil will just blow around in the basket, and can even lead to a fire risk. To prevent too much browning, it is best to simply lower the temperature of the fryer.
