I used to think store-bought biscuits only came in cans, until I discovered frozen biscuit dough. Frozen biscuits mean you can bake one or two at a time without firing up a full-size oven. An air fryer is perfect for this: it heats quickly and cooks frozen biscuits in roughly half the time an oven requires. The result is delightful — slightly crisp outside with a tender, fluffy interior. Slather with butter, jam, or a drizzle of honey and enjoy with fresh fruit for a quick, comforting snack or breakfast.

Why frozen biscuits are better in the air fryer
Cook just one or two whenever you want
Frozen biscuits let you prepare a small quantity without wasting the rest of a can. Using the oven for a single biscuit wastes time and energy; an air fryer makes small batches convenient and fast.
They cook much faster
Oven directions for Pillsbury Grands! Buttermilk Biscuits call for baking at 375°F for 22–30 minutes depending on batch size. In an air fryer, biscuits take considerably less time — often under half the oven time.
Better texture from hot circulating air
The air fryer’s hot, circulating air puffs frozen biscuits nicely. The exterior becomes golden and lightly crisp while the interior turns soft and pillowy.
Favorite biscuit brand
Pillsbury Grands are my go-to: they are widely available and consistently well-reviewed. Other brands you may find include Mary B’s, Mason Dixie, and GreatValue.
How to cook frozen biscuits in the air fryer
Air fryers and brands vary, and results depend on your specific model and basket size. Many sources recommend 350°F, but in my testing that left the inside undercooked while the outside browned too quickly. For consistently cooked, fluffy biscuits, try this method:
Cook frozen Grands biscuits at 325°F for about 14 minutes. Arrange biscuits in a single layer in the basket without touching, and check that the centers are fully cooked before serving. Serve warm.
Serving suggestions
Buttered biscuits with sliced apples make a wholesome snack. They also work well as quick breakfast sandwiches. Serve alongside soups, salads, or a simple cake for a complete meal.

Storage directions
Store leftover cooked biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Avoid refreezing cooked biscuits for best texture.
Kitchen tools
- I test recipes using a basket-style air fryer (Philips XXL). Basket-style models are easy to clean and work well for this method.
