Ingredients

• 1 or more frozen biscuits from Costco (any size or style)

• Optional:

  • Butter or honey for serving

  • Garlic butter or cheese for topping

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer

Set your air fryer to 330°F (166°C) and preheat for 3–4 minutes.

Step 2: Arrange the Biscuits

Place frozen biscuits in a single layer in the air fryer basket or tray. Leave at least 1 inch between each biscuit to allow for rising. No need to thaw.

Step 3: Air Fry to Perfection

• Cook at 330°F for 12–15 minutes, flipping biscuits at the 8-minute mark for even browning

• Thicker, jumbo biscuits may need up to 16–17 minutes

• Biscuits are done when golden on the outside and cooked through—test with a toothpick if unsure

Step 4: Let Cool & Serve

Allow to rest for 2–3 minutes, then brush with butter and serve warm.

Pro Tips for the Best Results

Flip Midway for Even Browning

Turning the biscuits helps ensure a golden crust on all sides.

Space Them Out Generously

Biscuits expand as they cook—don’t crowd the basket.

Check Early and Adjust as Needed

All air fryers vary slightly—peek at 12 minutes and add time if needed.

Top with Butter or Glaze After Cooking

Garlic butter, cinnamon sugar glaze, or cheddar cheese can be added post-bake for extra flavor.
