WHY YOU WILL LOVE THESE BISCUITS
Cooked biscuits are perfect as a side dish. Serve them with honey and jam, for breakfast, or add with gravy for southern style biscuits. Biscuits aren't just for breakfast though! These Air Fryer Canned Biscuits go great with dinner.
Serve them with pot roast, soups and any holidays meals. You can even make small sandwiches with roast or other meats. Having warm biscuits with melted butter on top, can make a meal perfect.
You can use any brand of refrigerated biscuits but I prefer Grands jumbo biscuits or Pillsbury grands biscuits. When you air fry the pre-made biscuit dough, it comes out so fluffy and flaky.

- One can of biscuits

DIRECTIONS
STEP 1
Line the basket with parchment paper or lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray.

EXPERT TIPS
- Don't overcrowd the basket.
- Pre-heat unless the recipe you are using specifically says not to.
- Unless the recipe says something different it's a good idea to shake or flip food when halfway finished cooking.
- Remember that just like other cooking appliances that every Air Fryer is different, it's best to open the basket to check things out a couple of times.
- Be sure to use the right cooking spray in your Air Fryer, some can cause damage.
- The food usually cooks better if placed in a single layer.
STORING
Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container. At room temperature, 2-3 days, if refrigerated, they should last up to a week. You can also place in a freezer bag and freeze for up to three months.

Great, Do not stick.

I have the Pampered Chef model which was mesh trays and I find they get great on top but the bottom isn’t done, anyone else have this problem. I have flipped mine but I don’t care for two crusts.
