Step-by-Step Guide to Air Frying Frozen Biscuits
Follow these simple steps to cook frozen biscuits in your air fryer:
Prepare the air fryer: If your air fryer requires preheating, set it to 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes. Arrange the biscuits: Place the frozen biscuits in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Make sure they’re not touching each other to allow for even cooking. Cook the biscuits: Air fry the frozen biscuits at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes. Flip and continue cooking: After 5-7 minutes, flip the biscuits and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Check for doneness: Use a toothpick or fork to check if the biscuits are cooked through. If not, cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
