Air fryers are a great way to make canned biscuits. They take less than ten minutes to cook and free up your oven for other uses. You can use your favourite brand of refrigerated biscuits and pop them in the air fryer for a perfectly browned outside and a soft inside. The biscuits should be cooked at 330°F for 3-4 minutes, then flipped over and cooked for another 1-2 minutes. You may need to adjust the cooking time or temperature depending on your air fryer model.
