Ingredients Needed For Air Fryer Chorizo and Cheddar Biscuits
Today, we used some simple ingredients to create a delicious cheese biscuit!

- Chorizo: Adds some spice to this dish!
- Sour Cream: Use either low-fat or full-fat sour cream.
- Buttermilk: Use homemade or store-bought buttermilk, but make sure that it’s cold.
- Seasonings and Spices: Taco Seasoning and fresh cilantro.

Tips For Making The Best Biscuits In Air Fryer
Are you looking for a way to make the best biscuits in an air fryer? If so, then you are in luck, below we shared some tips for making the best biscuits in the air fryer.
- Cold Ingredients: For best results, and for a really flaky biscuit, make sure that you use cold ingredients. Store the butter and buttermilk in the refrigerator, until ready to use.
- Over Mixing: For best results, do not overmix the ingredients. As you continue to mix the ingredients, gluten is developed in the dough, which will lead to a hard biscuit. For a flaky biscuit, stop mixing once the ingredients are mixed.
- Crowding: For best results, leave plenty of room around the biscuits. The hot air that circulates in the air fryer, will help cook the biscuits.
- Flipping: Depending on the air fryer that you are using, you may need to flip the biscuits halfway during the cooking cycle.
- Timing: Since every air fryer is slightly different, it’s important that you check on your air fryer biscuits, as they cook up.
