Ingredients Needed
- 1 can Bake House Creations Buttermilk Biscuits
(Available at Aldi — 8-count, refrigerated dough) - Nonstick cooking spray or parchment paper
(Optional, helps prevent sticking)
Substitution Tips
- Other Aldi canned biscuits: The flaky or jumbo versions work, too—just increase the cooking time by 1–2 minutes.
- Dairy-free? Most canned biscuits contain milk, but check labels—some store-brand varieties may be dairy-free.
- No spray? A light brushing of oil on the basket works just as well.
🔥 How to Make Canned Biscuits in the Air Fryer
Step 1 Preheat your air fryer to 350°F if your model requires it. Spray or line your basket with parchment paper.
Step 2 Place biscuits in a single layer, leaving space between each one for air to circulate.
Step 3 Air fry at 350°F for 7 to 10 minutes. Check at 7 minutes and continue cooking.
Flip the biscuits and cook for another 3–4 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked through.
Let them cool slightly before serving.
📝 Pro Tip: Every air fryer is different. Check for doneness by splitting a biscuit open—if the center is still doughy, add another 1–2 minutes.
Serving Suggestions
Air fryer biscuits are incredibly versatile. Here are a few of my go-to ways to enjoy them:
- Classic breakfast: Serve warm with butter, jam, or honey.
- Soup – Serve these air fryer biscuits with this Easy Creamy Chicken Pot Pie Soup
- Breakfast Sandwich: Slice open and stuff with scrambled eggs and bacon or turkey sausage, or serve with sausage gravy.
- Brunch board: Add to a breakfast charcuterie board with fruit, cheese, and spreads.
- Sweet treat: Drizzle with melted butter and cinnamon sugar for an easy biscuit dessert.
Pro Tips for Biscuit Success
- Don’t overcrowd your basket—cook in batches if needed.
- Let the biscuits rest for a couple of minutes after air frying so the texture sets.
- Add grated cheddar and garlic powder on top before air frying for cheesy garlic biscuits.
Recipe FAQS for Air Fryer Canned Biscuits
Yes, you can. Set the temp to 350 and air fry for 7 to 10 minutes.
No, it’s best to cook them in a single layer with space in between. Stacking can lead to uneven cooking and doughy centers.
330°F and 350 is ideal for most air fryers. Higher temps can cause the outsides to brown too quickly while the inside stays raw.
