Ingredients Needed For Air Fryer Chorizo and Cheddar Biscuits

Today, we used some simple ingredients to create a delicious cheese biscuit!

• Self-Rising Flour: You can use store-bought or I included a recipe for a simple recipe for self-rising flour below. Self-rising flour is nothing more than all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
• Butter: Use cold and unsalted butter.
• Cheese: Cheddar Cheese and Pepper Jack Cheese, for best results, use freshly shredded cheese.
• 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.

In a large mixing bowl combine flour and softened butter.

Mix until crumb-like texture forms. In a separate bowl, toss 1 tablespoon of flour with shredded pepper jack and cheddar cheese, taco seasoning, and cilantro.

Combine the bowls, then add chorizo, sour cream, and buttermilk. Need thoroughly and form into a ball. 

Preheat the air fryer to 385 degrees F. Lightly flour a wooden cutting board and place the dough ball on top. Roll dough to 1” thick. Cut into 12 equal sections. 

Combine melted butter with taco seasoning. Brush the biscuits.

Lightly spray the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray and arrange biscuits leaving 1 inch of space between. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes.

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.
