Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup cold unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 2 Tablespoons melted butter optional
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl combine flour, baking powder, sugar and salt until blended.
- Using a grater, grate the butter and stir into the flour mixture. This ensures that the butter mixes well with the dry ingredients.
- Add milk and buttermilk and stir until a dough forms.
- Generously flour a flat surface and turn the biscuit dough out onto the floured surface.
- Using your hands press the dough into a rectangle.
- Fold the dough in half and, using a 2 1/2-inch round biscuit cutter, cut ithe dough nto 12 biscuits, rerolling if necessary.
- Set the air fryer temperature to 390F.
- Arrange biscuits in the air fryer basket in a single layer and, if desired, brush tops with melted butter.
- Depending on the size of your air fryer you may need to air fry the biscuits in two batches.
- Cook for 9 minutes or until golden and baked through.
Notes
Swirls of Flavor Recipe Tips
- Keep butter in the freezer for at least half an hour before making your recipe
- Add 1 cup of your favorite shredded cheese to the dough
- Be sure to use unsalted butter, as the recipe calls for, or your biscuits may be too salty
- Be sure to measure your flour correctly. Always scoop flour into the measuring cup and then level off with the flat side of a knife
- For best results, I do not recommend using air fryer parchment paper for this recipe. The parchment paper will hinder the air flow and the bottoms of the biscuits from browning nicely
