Step 3: Air Fry to Perfection

Pro Tips for the Best Results

Leave Plenty of Space Between Biscuits

They expand while baking—allow enough room for even air circulation.

Flip Carefully If Needed

Flipping ensures even color and crispness, especially in smaller air fryers.

Serve Warm With Butter or Toppings

Biscuits are best when served hot and fresh out of the air fryer.

Adjust Time Slightly if Cooking From Frozen

Frozen biscuits may need an extra 2–3 minutes to cook through.
