Air Fryer Cheddar Biscuits taste amazing! You’re going to love these soft, buttery biscuits filled with cheddar cheese and diced jalapeños.
Do you enjoy biscuits? We sure do, and the recipe I am sharing today is a fantastic one for making them in an air fryer! I found the original recipe in a manual that came with my air fryer, and only made a couple small changes.
Let me tell you, these air fryer cheddar biscuits (with diced jalapeños) are SO GOOD! They are big enough biscuits that sometimes my hubby and I split one, and every bite is full of deliciousness.
The prep is fairly minimal, but the results are amazing! If you have an air fryer, I hope you will try this biscuit recipe. Here’s how to make them.

Make The Dough For The Cheddar Biscuits
Sift all purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and baking soda together into a large mixing bowl. Cut VERY COLD butter into small chunks and add them to the sifted dry ingredients.
Use a pastry blender or two forks to cut the butter into the flour mixture. Continue until the dough becomes crumbly, and the butter has been reduced to the size of peas.
Add grated cheddar cheese and finely diced jalapenos to the dry ingredients and stir, to combine. Once combined, pour in the buttermilk, and stir until it has been incorporated into the mixture.
NOTE: The jalapeno flavor is very mild in this recipe (as written). Don’t like jalapeños? Leave them out! Do you LOVE jalapeños? Add more, if desired, to suit your taste.
Continue to stir until all the dough ingredients have been fully combined in a shaggy mound of dough.
Shape, Slice, And Top With Melted Butter
Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit the basket of your air fryer. Place the dough in a mound in the middle of the paper.
Shape the dough into a square, about 1″ thick, using your hands (a bit sticky). Slice the dough into 4 equal-sized squares using a knife or pizza cutter (my favorite way to cut them).
Separate them a bit on the parchment paper, and then brush the tops of each biscuit with melted butter. Now they’re ready for the air fryer.
Time For the Air Fryer!
Preheat your air fryer to 350°F. Once it has reached temperature, carefully place the parchment paper and biscuits into the basket. Cook the biscuits at 350°F for 12 minutes without disturbing them.
When done, the air fryer cheddar biscuits should be nicely browned on top and cooked all the way through. Transfer the parchment paper (and biscuits) to a wire rack to cool for 1 minute before serving.
Slice through the biscuits to separate them from each other, because they may have cooked together as they rose and cooked in the pan.
Time To Enjoy The Air Fryer Cheddar Biscuits
Serve the air fryer cheddar biscuits while they’re warm and enjoy! My husband and I split them in half at times, because they are a large biscuit, and are a bit calorically “challenging”!
The biscuits are buttery and slightly crunchy on the outside, but the inside is soft and fluffy! These delicious biscuits taste outstanding, as well, and the jalapeños only add a tiny amount of heat.
I hope you enjoy these amazing biscuits and trust you have the same reaction we did when we tried them the very first time. We said “WOW”!!!
Thanks for stopping by, and I invite you to come back again soon for more family-friendly recipes. Take care, may God bless you… and have a GREAT day!
