Air Fryer Buttermilk Biscuits

With the Thanksgiving holiday coming up, I wanted to start to make some of my holiday recipes in the air fryer. Today, I am bringing you a recipe for my classic air fryer buttermilk biscuits.

I always serve these at Thanksgiving, and using your air fryer, will help you save space in your oven.

If you have never made buttermilk biscuits before, either in the oven or in the air fryer. They are really simple.

What Is A Buttermilk Biscuit?

A buttermilk biscuit is really just a biscuit made with buttermilk instead of regular milk. Since buttermilk contains acid, and baking soda contains the base. (If you remember basic chemistry class when an acid and base come together, they cause a chemical reaction)

In this case, the chemical reaction is that the buttermilk causes the biscuit to rise, since the chemical reaction in baking, causes bubbles.

How to Make Buttermilk?

Most of us do not keep a supply of buttermilk on hand, therefore here is a really simple and foolproof way to make your own buttermilk.

One Cup of Buttermilk is equal to 1 tablespoon of white vinegar and enough milk to make 1 cup.

So basically add the one tablespoon of white vinegar to a liquid cup measurer and then add milk until you have one cup of “buttermilk.”

Ingredients Used Today, in the Air Fryer Buttermilk Biscuits,

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt (omit if using salted butter)
• 1/3 cup cold unsalted butter
• 1 cup buttermilk

Easy Instructions, for Air Fryer Buttermilk Biscuits,

In a large mixing bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.

Add the COLD butter and buttermilk.

Mix until the dough comes together. Then flour a cutting board of your counter.

Using a rolling pin, roll out your dough.

Use a biscuit cutter and cut the biscuits out. You can use any size biscuit cutter you want.

Place them in your air fryer basket (if you have a basket, line it with parchment paper) if you have a tray, place them on the tray.

Set in the air fryer and air fry for 5-7 minutes at 350 degrees F.

Helpful Tips & Tips for Making Air Fryer Biscuits,

1. Do not overwork the dough, once everything is well blended. Do not keep on kneading the dough, as it will release gluten which will make your bread tough.
2. You can subsitue out gluten-free flour, and whole-wheat, but the texture will change.
3. The easiest way to make homemade bsicuits is to use a biscuit cutter, so if you do not have one, pick up a package, they come in really handy when air fyring.
4. Cold butter is the key to flaky biscuits, since it effects teh texture of the biscuit.
5. Spread out your biscuits, since the air needs to flow aroudn the biscuits, to help them rise.

Preparing In Advance,

If you are pressed for time, you can make these in advance. Simply, make them as directed, stop at the part where you air fry them. Then just put them on a baking sheet, lined with wax paper, in the freezer. When they are frozen, place them in an airtight container.

When you are ready to make them either bake them or place them into the air fryer. Air fry at 320 degrees for 5-9 minutes.
