Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead a few times. Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick rectangle and cut it into round biscuits using a biscuit cutter or a glass.
Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 3 minutes.
Place the biscuits in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they aren't touching. Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
After the biscuits are done, brush them with extra buttermilk to give them a nice sheen and extra softness.
