Air Fryer Pumpkin Biscuits Recipe Tips

• Use cold ingredients: Just like traditional biscuits, it’s essential to use them when making pumpkin biscuits in the air fryer.
• Don’t overmix the dough: When combining the ingredients, be careful not to overmix the dough. Overmixing can lead to tough biscuits.
• Adjust the moisture level: Pumpkin puree can vary in moisture content. Add a little extra flour if your dough seems too wet or sticky.
• Properly shape the biscuits: When shaping the biscuits, handle the dough gently and avoid overworking it.
• Space the biscuits properly: Place them in the air fryer basket with space between them.
• Adjust cooking time and temperature: Air fryers can vary in temperature and cooking time, so adjusting accordingly is essential. Start with the recommended temperature and cooking time in the recipe, but keep an eye on the biscuits as they cook.
• Brush with butter: For an extra touch of flavor and a beautiful golden color, brush the baked pumpkin biscuits with melted butter.
• Allow them to cool: After air frying, transfer the pumpkin biscuits to a wire rack and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Homemade Air Fryer Pumpkin Biscuits Recipe Faqs

Can I use canned pumpkin puree? Yes, canned pumpkin puree works well for making pumpkin biscuits. Make sure to use pure pumpkin puree without any added spices or sugar.

Can I substitute fresh pumpkin for canned pumpkin puree? While fresh pumpkin can be used, it requires additional steps to roast and puree the pumpkin. Canned pumpkin puree provides convenience and consistent results. If you choose to use fresh pumpkin, roast it until tender, then mash or puree it until smooth before using it in the biscuit recipe.

Can I make the dough ahead of time? Yes, you can make the biscuit dough ahead of time. After shaping the biscuits, you can refrigerate the unbaked dough for up to 24 hours before air frying. This allows for better flavor development and makes for a convenient option when preparing in advance.

Can I freeze the baked pumpkin biscuits? Yes, you can freeze the baked pumpkin biscuits. Let them cool completely, then place them in a sealed container or freezer bag. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 months. To reheat, simply thaw the biscuits and warm them in the air fryer for a few minutes until heated through.

Can I use a different type of flour? The recipe typically calls for all-purpose flour, but you can experiment with different types of flour, such as whole wheat flour or gluten-free flour blends. Remember that different flours may yield slightly different textures and flavors in the biscuits.

Can I add spices like cinnamon or nutmeg to the dough? Absolutely! If you enjoy additional warm spices, you can incorporate a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, or pumpkin pie spice into the biscuit dough. Adjust the amount according to your preference, but do not overpower the pumpkin flavor.

Can I make mini biscuits instead of regular-sized ones? Yes, you can adjust the size of the biscuits to your liking. For mini biscuits, reduce the cooking time accordingly, as smaller biscuits will cook faster.
