Ingredients
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon of baking powder
- 1 teaspoon of sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 3/4 cup of whole milk
Instructions
- Preparation: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Add the cold butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Mixing: Gradually add the milk to the dry ingredients, stirring until the dough comes together. It should be sticky but manageable.
- Shaping: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead just until it holds together. Flatten the dough into a 1-inch thick round and use a biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits.
- Cooking: Place the biscuits in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not touch. Cook at 400°F (200°C) for about 10 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
