Air Fryer Biscuits Recipe & FAQs: How to Use Your Air Fryer to Cook Biscuits

What Temperature Do You Use to Cook Biscuits in an Air Fryer?

Set the temp on your air fryer to 330 degrees. 

How Long Do You Cook Biscuits in an Air Fryer?

Canned Pillsbury biscuits will take around 8 minutes to cook in an air fryer. Keep in mind that all air fryers are different, so the cook time on your biscuits may vary. 

How to Cook Pillsbury Biscuits in an Air Fryer: Step-by-Step

1. Prep the bottom of your air fryer basket by spraying it with some non-stick cooking spray, like PAM or even an avocado oil spray if you’d prefer.
2. Arrange your biscuits in a single layer in the bottom of your air fryer basket, making sure not to try and stuff too many in there; if there are too many squeezed in the basket or if they are stacked on top of one another, they will not end up cooking properly. 
3. Cook your biscuits for 8 minutes at 330 degrees, making sure to flip them a little more than halfway through (after about 5-6 minutes), so they are able to brown more evenly.
4. Carefully remove the biscuits from your air fryer, and enjoy!

How to Ensure Your Air Fryer Biscuits Cook Just Right
