    🍯 Why This Recipe Works

    1. It's fast! With only about 10 minutes from start to finish, you can have beautifully browned biscuits ready to serve alongside your next meal.
    2. You only need one ingredient! You already have everything you need if you have a can of biscuits and an air fryer.
    3. You can use any brand. We love making grand biscuits in the air fryer, but you can use any of your favorite brands (including store brands)!

    🥘 Ingredients

    can of biscuits in front of air fryer.

    Ingredient Notes:

    Canned biscuits- Use your favorite can of biscuits. We enjoy the Grands flaky with layers, but smaller biscuits can be used too. Just keep an eye on them as smaller biscuits would cook more quickly.

    (We also use canned biscuits in our Easy Easter Bunny Biscuits and Cinnamon Roll Monkey Bread, so if you have more on hand, there are some great suggestions to use them up).

    Nonstick cooking spray- This is 100% optional and I often don't use it at all, but adding some nonstick to your air fryer can help to prevent food from sticking, and may help to give you an easier clean up later.

    For specific ingredients and measurements, please see the recipe card below.

    🔪 Instructions for Air Fryer Canned Biscuits

    Step 1: Spray the inside basket of your air fryer with cooking spray or brush it with olive oil to make it nonstick.

    Step 2: Open a can of biscuits and lay them out in the air fryer basket so that they are not touching. If needed, work in batches.

    Step 3: Place the air fryer basket into the air fryer and set it to 350 degrees F. Cook for 8 minutes. Flip them over halfway through the cooking.

    Step 4: Let them cool for about 1 minute before transferring to your serving plates as the biscuits will be hot.

    🍴 Recipe Tips

    1. Different biscuit sizes: Canned biscuits come in various sizes, so check them after 6 minutes. If the tops are done but the bottoms are still doughy, flip them and cook for 2 more minutes.
    2. Flipping: Ensures even cooking from both sides.
    3. Air fryer racks: Use the middle rack for cooking.
    4. Avoid overcrowding: Cook only a single layer of biscuits at a time to ensure even cooking.

    👩🏻‍🍳 Storage

    These air fryer biscuits can be kept stored at room temperature for up to a few days in an air-tight container, but they taste best when eaten within 2 or 3 days. Reheat before eating for that fresh warm oven taste.

    🍳Reheating

    If desired, you can reheat your cooled cooked biscuits in the air fryer by heating them in the basket for about 2 minutes at 350 degrees F.

    🥗 What to Serve With Biscuits

    This recipe is perfect for pairing up with some homemade jams or spreads like my Sugar Free Strawberry Jam, Sugar Free Blueberry Jam, and Copycat Texas Roadhouse Butter.

    That said, these biscuits are also fabulous for serving with soups like Stove Top Beef Stew, Tomato Soup Chili, and Crispy Baked Chicken Quarters!

    Whatever you choose, I'm sure you'll enjoy them!

    💭 Recipe FAQs

    How to store unused canned biscuit dough

    You can place your biscuits in an airtight container like a gallon sized baggie and store them in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months. Do not freeze the can that the biscuits came in (and especially do not freeze the biscuits while in the can as it can explode). Thaw the biscuits in the fridge overnight before baking as directed.

    What cooking spray should I use in my air fryer?

    I recommend sticking with non-aerosol type sprays because aerosol sprays can damage your air fryer and cause the nonstick coating to flake off. Using olive oil spritzer bottles or brushing it on with a pastry brush is the best method for application.

    What happens when you air fry biscuits?

    The outside of the biscuits (top, sides and bottom) all become a delicious golden brown color and get a crispy texture, while the inside becomes flaky and soft. This is the BEST way to serve up canned biscuits!

    Can you cook Pillsbury canned biscuits in the air fryer?

    Yes, you can. Pillsbury canned biscuits need about 8 minutes in the air fryer, but cooking times might differ based on your air fryer's brand and features.

    How do you keep biscuits from sticking in an air fryer?

    Properly greasing the air fryer basket will help to keep the biscuits from sticking. Flipping them over at the midway point will also help to keep one side from getting "too stuck" to the basket as well.
