How to Prepare
Step 1: Prepare the Dry Ingredients In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and garlic powder.
Step 2: Incorporate the Butter Cut the cold butter into small pea-sized cubes. Using a stand mixer or food processor, blend the butter into the dry mixture until it forms small, pea-like chunks.
Step 3: Add Cheese and Parsley Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and parsley until evenly distributed.
Step 4: Mix in the Buttermilk Using your hands or a stand mixer, gently combine the buttermilk with the dry ingredients until a dough forms. Be careful not to over-knead; the dough should be firm enough to shape but not overly dense.
Step 5: Form Biscuits Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Use an ice cream scoop to portion out the biscuit dough and place them in the basket. Repeat until the basket is filled.
Step 6: Air Fry Coat the biscuits with cooking spray and cook in the air fryer at 380°F for 5 minutes or until golden brown. Flip them over and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Step 7: Prepare Garlic Butter Sauce Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and add garlic. Brush the mixture over the warm biscuits for an extra burst of flavor.
Tips for Perfection
Avoid overworking the dough to prevent flat and tough biscuits.
Use cold butter for optimal texture and rise.
Keep the buttermilk cold until ready to use.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Freeze unbaked biscuits for later use; simply bring them to room temperature before baking.
