Ingredients

• 1 or more Publix Mary B’s frozen biscuits (buttermilk, layered, southern-style, etc.)

• Optional:

  • Butter or honey for brushing after cooking

  • Jam, eggs, sausage, or gravy for serving

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer

Set your air fryer to 330°F (165°C) and preheat for 2–3 minutes to ensure even cooking.

Step 2: Arrange the Biscuits

Place frozen biscuits in a single layer in the basket or tray. Make sure they aren’t touching—this helps them rise and cook evenly.

Step 3: Air Fry to Perfection

Air fry at 330°F for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway through if your air fryer browns unevenly.

• Check at 12 minutes—biscuits should be puffed and golden on top

• Thicker or jumbo styles may need up to 16 minutes

Step 4: Check for Doneness

Biscuits should be golden brown and cooked through. The center should no longer be doughy, and the interior temp should reach 190–200°F (88–93°C).

Step 5: Cool Slightly & Serve

Let rest for 2–3 minutes, then brush with butter or honey and serve warm.

Pro Tips for the Best Results

Don’t Overcrowd the Basket

Leave space for the biscuits to expand as they bake.

Use Parchment or a Liner (Optional)

Prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier, especially with flaky or buttery biscuits.

Flip Only If Necessary

Some air fryers may brown the tops unevenly—flip only if needed near the end.

Brush with Butter for Extra Flavor

Adds color, shine, and that classic homemade biscuit finish.

Do I Need to Flip the Biscuits?

Only if your air fryer browns unevenly. Most models cook evenly without flipping.
