These Air Fryer Biscuits are the perfect way to make canned biscuits. These come together in just 10 minutes and you won't need to heat up your oven!
Where are my breakfast fans? I love breakfast food. It is some of my favorites! One of my favorite parts about Christmas time is my mom would always make a HUGE breakfast for the entire family. There is something about a good breakfast meal. One of the things I discovered as an adult is there is so little space to cook everything at once! When I purchased my air fryer, it was like a game-changer. It gave me extra space to make things and I didn't have to heat my oven. These Air Fryer Frozen Biscuits are so easy to make in the air fryer. They only take 10 minutes and it saves me oven space and time!

Instructions
- Spray the air fryer basket with oil spray to prevent the biscuits from sticking.
- Layer the biscuits in a single layer of air fryer basket. Make sure to space them out so they aren't touching. You may need to cook in batches if you don't have room.
- Air Fry at 370 degrees fahrenheit for 10 minutes. Check halfway through to make sure they aren't getting too dark.
- Remove biscuits from the air fryer basket and enjoy!
Hint: If the biscuits are getting too golden but not cooking all the way through, turn off the heat of the air fryer basket and leave them in the basket for about 5 minutes to continue cooking from the residual heat.
Variations
- Frozen Biscuits - If you want to air fry these biscuits from frozen, simply layer them in a single layer in the air fryer basket, set the temperature to 370 degrees, and cook for 5 minutes, flip and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
- Oven Method - To make these biscuits in the oven, layer them on the baking sheet and preheat the oven to 350 and bake for 16-19 minutes.
- Toaster Oven - Place the biscuits on the toaster oven rack and bake at 425ºF for 9 to 12 minutes until biscuits are nicely golden brown on top.
FAQ's
Yes! To air fry frozen biscuits, layer them in a single layer and cook at 370 degrees for 5 minutes then remove them from the basket, flip and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
I am a big fan of the Immaculate brand of biscuits and also the pillsbury brand. You would be surprised that a lot of the Pillsbury brands don't contain any milk, however there are some that do so always check the label.
I set my air fryer to 370 degrees fahrenheit. Too high and you risk burning the biscuits, too low and they won't cook all the way through.
Equipment
Equipment can have a big impact on how a recipe turns out. See below for the equipment you will need to make this recipe.
- Air Fryer
- Serving Tongs
Storage
Store the remaining biscuits in an airtight container for 3-5 days. To reheat, add to the air fryer basket and cook for 2 minutes until heated through.
I would not recommend freezing the cooked biscuits, however, you can freeze canned biscuits. Simply remove the biscuits from the can, layer them on a cookie sheet to flash freeze, and then once frozen, add to a gallon-sized bag and store in the freezer for up to three months.
Top tips
- I would not suggest using parchment paper in the air fryer because you want maximum airflow under the biscuits to help them cook all the way through. The parchment paper prevents maximum airflow under the biscuits. Instead, spray a light coat of oil spray on the basket.
- All air fryers cook differently. Cooking time may vary among different air fryers. If you're unsure of your specific air fryer's cooking time for these biscuits, start checking for doneness after 7 minutes. If they're still slightly doughy in the middle after 10 minutes, leave them in the turned-off air fryer for about 2-3 minutes to continue cooking in the residual heat.
- Make sure to put everything in one layer and do not stack the biscuits or they will get soggy and not crisp up.
