💡 Tips
Here are my top tips for making grands biscuits in air fryer:
1. Serve Them With Dips And Spreads
Although these air fryer canned biscuits can be enjoyed plain, you can also serve them with different dips and spreads to make them even more delicious.
For example, serve them with honey butter, garlic butter, or even cream cheese.
These spreads can be easily made at home by mixing the desired ingredients together.
For example, to make honey butter, mix softened butter with honey and whip it until smooth.
Similarly, for garlic butter, mix softened butter with minced garlic and salt. Easy and super tasty!
2. Add Spices And Herbs
You can add spices or herbs to the biscuit dough to give it an extra burst of flavor.
For example, adding garlic powder, Italian seasoning, or dried herbs like thyme or rosemary can enhance the flavor of the biscuits and make them taste more savory.
To add these flavors, simply sprinkle the spices or herbs on top of the biscuits before placing them in the air fryer.
3. Do Not Overcrowd The Air Fryer Basket
One of the key things to keep in mind while using an air fryer is not to overcrowd the basket.
This is particularly important when making biscuits or any other baked goods in the air fryer.
Overcrowding the basket can lead to uneven cooking, and the biscuits may not rise and expand as they should.
It is best to place the biscuits in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving enough space between each biscuit to allow them to rise and expand.
If you want to make more biscuits than can fit in a single layer, cook them in batches. It may take more time, but the result is worth it.
4. Try Different Brands Of Canned Biscuits
As mentioned earlier, this canned biscuits in air fryer recipe uses Pillsbury brand canned biscuits.
While Pillsbury is a popular brand, there are many other great brands of canned biscuits available in the market that you can try.
Each brand of canned biscuits has its unique taste, texture, and quality. So, it’s worth trying out different brands to find the one that you like the most.
Here is a list of some of my favorite canned biscuits brands:
Pillsbury: This brand has been around for over 150 years and is one of the most popular brands of canned biscuits in the market. Their biscuits are known for their flaky texture and buttery flavor.
Annie’s: Annie’s is known for its organic and natural food products. Their canned biscuits are made with simple ingredients and have a mild and slightly sweet flavor.
Great Value: This is Walmart’s in-house brand and is known for its affordable and high-quality products. Their canned biscuits are fluffy, light, and have a slightly buttery flavor.
Immaculate Baking Co: This brand uses only natural ingredients and has a range of organic products. Their canned biscuits are flaky, buttery, and have a slightly sweet flavor.
5. Adjust Air Frying Time
While the suggested air frying time in the canned biscuits in the air fryer recipe is 5-6 minutes at 340F (170C), it is important to note that the air frying time may vary based on the size of the biscuits and the model of the air fryer.
It’s important to adjust the air frying time to ensure that the biscuits are cooked through and evenly browned.
If you’re using larger biscuits, you may need to increase the air frying time by a minute or two.
On the other hand, if you’re using smaller biscuits, you may need to decrease the air frying time by a minute or two.
Additionally, different models of air fryers may have different cooking times. Some air fryers may require more time to cook the biscuits thoroughly, while others may require less time.
