Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 Tablespoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces Note 1
  • 1 cup buttermilk Note 2
  • 1 teaspoon extra flour, to knead the dough Note 3

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt..
  • Add the cold butter to flour mixture. Use your hands or a pastry cutter to massage the butter into the flour.
  • Gently stir buttermilk into the butter/flour mix.
  • Once the dough begins to stick together, turn out the dough onto a lightly floured work surface.
  • Knead the dough a couple of times until smooth. Flatten the dough to 1½ inch thick.
  • Use biscuit cutters or a wide mouth mason jar to punch out the biscuits. Re-knead and flatten excess dough for more biscuits.
  • Place biscuits in air fryer basket, brush tops with melted butter and cook at 370°F, 5 minutes on each side.
  • Serve with any of your favorite meals.

Notes

Note 1: For best results, be sure butter is very cold.
Note 2: If you do not have access to buttermilk, combine milk with 1 teaspoon of lemon juice or white vinegar.
Note 3: Use the extra teaspoon to dust the surface to knead the dough.
