How to make Grands biscuits in an air fryer

Ingredients:

• 1 can of refrigerated Grands biscuits
• Cooking spray (optional)
• Parchment paper (optional)

Method:

• Start by lightly spraying the inside of the air fryer basket with cooking spray. You can also cut a sheet of parchment paper to the size of your air fryer basket and place it inside, poking a few holes in the paper to ensure the air can still flow easily.
• Place the biscuits in a single layer on the bottom of the basket, ensuring they are not stacked or touching the sides of the basket for even cooking.
• Cook the biscuits at 330-350°F for 6 minutes. Then, flip them over and cook for an additional 2-4 minutes, or until the biscuits are a nice golden brown colour.
• Serve immediately with your choice of toppings or fillings, such as butter, jam, honey, or gravy.

Tips:

You may need to adjust the cooking time or temperature depending on your air fryer model.

Storage:

• Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
• Biscuits can also be frozen in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to three months.

Reheating:

To reheat, place the biscuits in the air fryer at 300-350°F for 2-3 minutes, or in the microwave for 15-30 seconds.

How to make Grands biscuits in an oven-style air fryer

Ingredients:

• 1 can of Pillsbury Grands Biscuits (either 5 or 8 to a can)
• Cooking spray (canola, olive oil or vegetable oil)
• Butter (optional)
• Cinnamon sugar (optional)
• Jam or fruit preserves (optional)

Method:

• Preheat your oven-style air fryer to 330°F for 5 minutes.
• Remove the biscuits from the can.
• Lightly spray the inside of the air fryer basket with cooking spray. This will help to prevent the biscuits from sticking to the basket. You could also use a sheet of parchment paper if you want to make the cleanup even easier—just cut the paper to the size of your air fryer and poke a few holes in it to ensure the air can still flow easily.
• Place 4 biscuits into the preheated air fryer in a single layer, ensuring they do not touch the sides of the basket. Leave as much space between the biscuits as your air fryer allows.
• Cook the biscuits for 3–4 minutes. Then, flip them over and cook for an additional 1–2 minutes, or until the outside of the biscuits are a golden brown color.
• Carefully remove the biscuits from the air fryer and serve warm with your choice of spreads and toppings, such as butter, cinnamon sugar, jam or fruit preserves (optional).

Tips:

• You don't need to defrost the biscuits before cooking them in the air fryer.
• Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may be able to fit 5 to 6 biscuits in the basket. If you need to cook more, air fry them in batches.
• For oven-style air fryers, cook the biscuits on the middle rack only, as the biscuits may cook unevenly if distributed on multiple racks.
• You can brush the outside of the biscuits with melted butter 2 minutes before the cooking time is up.
• You can also sprinkle the biscuits with a blend of herbs like basil, oregano, thyme, sage or rosemary to give them a delicious flavor boost.
• If you have a sweet tooth, frozen biscuits are delicious if you sprinkle them with some cinnamon and brown sugar.
• You can store leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days, or for up to a week when refrigerated. You can also freeze them in a freezer bag for longer storage.

How to make frozen Grands biscuits in an air fryer

Ingredients:

• Frozen Grands biscuits
• Butter or cooking spray
• Optional toppings: honey, jam, butter, herbs, cinnamon, and brown sugar

Method:

Frozen Grands biscuits can go straight from the freezer to the air fryer—there's no need to defrost them first. Place the biscuits in the air fryer basket in a single layer, leaving a little space between them. You don't want to overcrowd the air fryer basket as the hot air needs to circulate all around the biscuits.

Some recipes suggest brushing the biscuits with melted butter a couple of minutes before the end of the cooking time. You could also sprinkle them with herbs, cinnamon, and brown sugar.

Cooking:

Preheat your air fryer to 320–350°F and cook the biscuits for 10–15 minutes, flipping them halfway through. They should be crispy and golden brown on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside.

Tips:

• If you're cooking more biscuits than will fit in a single layer in your air fryer, cook them in batches.
• You can use any brand of frozen biscuits, but you may need to adjust the cooking time and temperature.
• If you're using parchment paper, cut it to the size of your air fryer basket and poke a few holes in it to allow the air to circulate.
• If your biscuits are browning too quickly on top, try lowering the temperature by 10–15°F.
• If your biscuits are still doughy in the middle, leave them in the turned-off air fryer for 2–3 minutes to continue cooking in the residual heat.

How to make Grands biscuits in an air fryer without parchment paper

Grands biscuits are a great option for a quick and easy meal or snack. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to make them in an air fryer without using parchment paper:

Step 1: Prepare the Air Fryer Basket

Give the inside of the air fryer basket a light coating of cooking spray. This will help prevent the biscuits from sticking to the basket. If you don't have cooking spray, you can use a brush to apply a thin layer of oil.

Step 2: Arrange the Biscuits

Place the biscuits in a single layer on the bottom of the basket, making sure they are not stacked or touching the sides. Leave as much space between them as your air fryer allows. This ensures even cooking and allows the hot air to circulate properly.

Step 3: Cook the Biscuits

Set the air fryer to 330°F for jumbo biscuits or 350°F for regular-sized biscuits. Cook the biscuits for 6 minutes, then flip and rotate them. For jumbo biscuits, cook for an additional 1-3 minutes. For regular-sized biscuits, cook for an additional 3-4 minutes. The biscuits are done when they are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 4: Serve

Remove the biscuits from the air fryer and serve immediately. These biscuits go well with a variety of toppings, such as butter, honey, jam, or gravy. You can also use them as a base for breakfast sandwiches or as a side dish for meals.

Tips:

• You may need to adjust the cooking time and temperature depending on your air fryer model. It might take some trial and error to find the perfect settings for your machine.
• If your biscuits are still slightly doughy in the middle, leave them in the turned-off air fryer for 2-3 minutes to continue cooking in the residual heat.
• For best results, don't stack the biscuits in the air fryer, and remember to flip and rotate them during the cooking process.

How to make Grands biscuits in an air fryer with parchment paper

Grands biscuits are a great option for a quick and easy meal or snack. Using an air fryer to cook them is faster than using a conventional oven and can produce perfect, fluffy biscuits with a golden crust. Here is a step-by-step guide to making Grands biscuits in an air fryer with parchment paper:

Ingredients and Equipment:

• Air fryer
• Parchment paper
• Cooking spray
• Refrigerated or frozen Grands biscuits (any brand)

Method:

• Start by preparing your air fryer basket. Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit the size of your air fryer basket, ensuring you have enough paper to cover the base and sides. Poke a few holes in the parchment paper to allow for air circulation during cooking. You can also spray the parchment paper with a light coating of cooking spray to prevent sticking. Place the prepared parchment paper in the air fryer basket.
• Remove the biscuits from the can or package. Place 4-6 biscuits in a single layer on the parchment paper, ensuring they are not stacked or touching. The number of biscuits will depend on the size of your air fryer. Leave as much space between the biscuits as possible to allow for even cooking.
• Preheat your air fryer to between 320-350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 3-5 minutes. Preheating is not always necessary, but it can help the biscuits cook more evenly.
• Place the air fryer basket into the air fryer and cook the biscuits for 6-15 minutes at the desired temperature. For best results, flip the biscuits halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning.
• Once the biscuits are golden brown and cooked to your desired level of doneness, carefully remove them from the air fryer.
• Serve the biscuits warm with your choice of spreads and toppings, such as butter, jam, honey, or gravy.

Tips:

• You can brush the biscuits with melted butter a few minutes before the end of the cooking time for extra flavour and a golden crust.
• If you are making frozen biscuits, there is no need to defrost them before cooking. Simply increase the cooking time by a few minutes to ensure they are cooked through.
• If you don't have parchment paper, you can place the biscuits directly in the air fryer basket and spray the basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
• Different air fryer models may vary in cooking times and temperatures, so adjust the settings as needed and keep an eye on the biscuits to prevent overbaking.
