Ingredients

Biscuit Dough
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons cold butter, cubed
3/4 cup cold buttermilk
Topping
2 tablespoons melted butter
flaky sea salt

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowls Set

Steps

  1. 1

    Whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.

  2. 2

    Cut cold butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers until it resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces remaining.

  3. 3

    Pour in cold buttermilk and stir until the dough just comes together, then turn out onto a floured surface and fold the dough over itself 4-5 times to create layers.

  4. 4

    Pat dough to 3/4-inch thickness and cut out 6 biscuits with a 2.5-inch round cutter, pressing straight down without twisting.

  5. 5

    Place biscuits in the air fryer basket with sides touching for taller rise, and air fry at 340°F for 10-12 minutes until golden brown on top.

  6. 6

    Brush immediately with melted butter and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.

💡

Tip: The key to flaky biscuits is keeping everything cold — chill your flour and use frozen butter if possible. When cutting, press straight down without twisting, as twisting seals the edges and prevents proper rise.
