Equipment

Ingredients
 

  • 2 cups All-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons Baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon Baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 8 Tablespoons Butter, 1 stick
  • 1 Tablespoon Parsley
  • 1 cup Shredded cheese
  • 1 cup Buttermilk
  • 2 Tablespoons Melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the air fryer to 380℉.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and garlic.
  • Cut the stick of butter in small, pea size cubes.
  • Using a stand mixer or blender, mix the butter into the dry flour mixture until butter crumbles form.
  • Stir in cheese and parsley.
  • Using your hands or stirring paddle for stand mixer, mix in the buttermilk. Do not over knead the batter; you want it firm enough to form into a mound but not too firm.
  • Spray the air fryer basket with oil and using an ice cream scoop, spoon out a clump of batter and place in air fryer basket. Repeat to fill your basket.
  • Spray biscuits and cook in the preheated fryer for 5 minutes. Turn and cook for 2 more minutes
  • Stir the garlic powder into the melted butter and brush over top of the baked biscuits.

Christina's Notes

 
  • Brush with Garlic Butter Twice
    Brush the first layer of garlic butter as soon as they come out of the air fryer, then again after a minute or two for an extra savory kick and glossy finish.
  • Check Early for Doneness: Air fryer models vary—start checking 1–2 minutes before the recipe time ends to avoid overbaking.
  • Use Buttermilk for Tang: If using a baking mix, swap water or milk for buttermilk to add richness and subtle tanginess.
  • Add a Cheese Crust: Sprinkle a bit of extra cheddar on top before cooking for a crispy, golden cheese crown.
  • Reheat Like a Pro: To re-crisp leftovers, pop them back in the air fryer at 350°F for 2–3 minutes—just like fresh!
