Air Fryer Cheddar Biscuits taste amazing! You're going to love these soft, buttery biscuits filled with cheddar cheese and diced jalapeños.
- 1¾ cups all purpose flour
- 1¼ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- ⅛ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ cup COLD butter = 8 T. or 1 stick
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 Tablespoon jalapeños seeded, finely diced
- ½ cup buttermilk (cold)
- 2 teaspoons butter (for brushing on biscuit tops) melted
-
Sift flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and baking soda into a large mixing bowl. Cut VERY COLD butter into small chunks; add them to flour mixture. Use a pastry blender or two forks to cut butter into the flour mixture. Continue until dough becomes crumbly, and butter has been reduced to the size of peas.
-
Add grated cheese and jalapeños; stir, to combine. Once combined, stir in buttermilk until it is incorporated. Continue to stir until all the dough ingredients are fully combined in a shaggy mound of dough.
-
Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit basket of the air fryer. Transfer parchment paper to counter (return basket to air fryer). Preheat air fryer to 350℉.
-
Place dough in the middle of the parchment paper. Shape dough into a square, about 1" thick, using your hands. Slice dough into 4 equal-sized squares. Separate squares slightly on the parchment paper; brush biscuit tops with melted butter.
-
Once air fryer has reached temperature, carefully place parchment paper and biscuits into the basket. Cook biscuits at 350°F for 12 minutes. When done, biscuits should be nicely browned and cooked through. Transfer parchment paper (and biscuits) to a wire rack; cool for 1 minute. Serve and enjoy!.
