Ingredients for Air Fryer Buttermilk Biscuits
| Ingredients | Quantity |
| all-purpose flour, spooned & leveled | 1 ½ cups |
| baking powder | 1 tbsp |
| salt | 1 tsp |
| honey | 2 tbsp |
| unsalted butter | 6 tbsp |
| cold buttermilk | ½ cup |
Preparation for Air Fryer Buttermilk Biscuits
- Begin by whisking together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Add in the cubes of cold butter and coat them with the flour mixture.
- Using your hands, two knives, or a bench scraper, work the butter into the flour until the mixture is coarse and contains various-sized pieces of butter. It’s okay if there are still large chunks of butter remaining.
- Next, create a well in the center of the butter and flour mixture, and add in the buttermilk and honey. Mix everything together until all the liquid is absorbed.
- The dough will be shaggy with some dry bits, but try to incorporate all of the dry bits and press everything together to create a rectangle.
- Cut the rectangle into four pieces and stack them on top of each other, pressing down to laminate and create layers. Flatten the biscuit tower into a disc shape, using your hands or a rolling pin to create a thickness of about ¾ inch.
- The dough might be a bit sloppy, but that’s okay.
- Using a 2-inch biscuit cutter, press down straight into the dough to create four biscuits, taking care not to twist the cutter. Repeat with the scraps to make the final 2-3 biscuits. Place the biscuits in the fridge or freezer for 5-10 minutes to chill the butter.
- Once chilled, place the biscuits in the air fryer basket lined with parchment paper, ensuring that they do not overlap. Air fry at 400°F for 8-9 minutes until the biscuits are golden on the top and sides.
- They should be crispy on the outside while remaining soft and buttery on the inside. Enjoy the biscuits while they are still warm!
