Ingredients

Instructions

PLEASE WATCH THE COMPLETE VIDEO FOR BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE STEPS.

    ALWAYS READ THE COMPLETE RECIPE BEFORE STARTING. GATHER INGREDIENTS. ALSO ALWAYS READ THE NOTES FOR MORE OPTIONS AND TIPS.

      Prepare the Cheddar Biscuits Dough

      • Take a large Mixing Bowl. Add All Purpose Flour and Corn Meal to it. Also add Baking Soda & Baking Powder + Salt, Garlic Powder, Paprika, & Parsley to the bowl. Give all the dry ingredients a good mix with a kitchen spoon.
      • Now add melted Butter & Butter milk to the dry ingredients. Mix a little bit with the kitchen spoon and then add shredded Cheddar Cheese to the mixture. Now use your hands and pull it together into a wet and slightly loose dough form.
      • Cover and Refrigerate this dough for 30 minutes. Or else it will be messy to work with. Refrigerating also gives a nice texture and holds the shape together.

      Prepare for Air frying

      • Preheat the Air fryer at 400*F for about 5 minutes. After that, take out the air fryer basket and line with the Parchment Paper. If you are not using parchment paper, then grease the basket lightly with oil. 
      • Further take out the refrigerated biscuit dough. Set the air fryer basket and dough side by side. 
      • Now use your Ice Cream Scooper and scoop the biscuit dough out and dispense on the Parchment Paper inside the air fryer basket. If you  do not have ice cream scooper, then divide the dough manually into 15-16 portions and roll them gently into balls or patties. 
      • You can place 6-9 biscuits at a time depending upon the size of the basket. Since I have Instant Vortex plus air fryer, therefore I could place 8 cheese biscuits inside. Make sure to place these at a distance from each other.
      • Till the first batch is done, refrigerate the rest of the biscuit dough. 

      Air fry Cheddar Bay Biscuits

      • Now Air fry these Cheddar Cheese Biscuits for 7-9 minutes at 400*F or till done. Make sure to remove the parchment paper after 5-6 minutes for the bottoms to cook well.
      • Take these out and rest on Cookie Cooling Rack. Brush these further with some melted butter and sprinkle some dry parsley & paprika on top.

      What do I do if I do not have corn meal?

      In case you do not have corn meal, then substitute with 1/2 cup of all purpose flour. Now you will have 2 cups of all purpose flour instead of 1&1/2 cups, in total to work with.

      Home made Butter Milk Recipe

      In case you do not have butter milk handy, then make it at home without much work with these 2 ingredients. Take 1 cup of milk and add 1 tsp of Distilled White Vinegar to it. Let it stand for 5-10 minutes without touching. It will curdle a bit to make home made Butter milk. Use this for buttermilk in any recipe.

      How to make Red Lobster Cheddar Biscuits from the packet in air fryer?

      Prepare the dough as per packet instrucrions. Air fry at 350*F for 6-7 minutes till done.

      How long do you cook Cheese Biscuits in Air fryer?

      Cheddar Cheese Biscuits are cooked for about 7-9 minutes in Air fryer at 400*F.

      Can I make only make few at a time in Air fryer?

      Since the dough can be easily refrigerated, you can air fry only few at a time or as needed. If you think you will use only 6 biscuits that day, then make only 6. Refrigerate the rest of the dough and use it in next 1-2 days to make biscuits.

      For how long do they stay good?

      These will stay good on the kitchen counter top for 1 day. You have to refrigerate these after 1 day.

      How do I reheat the leftovers?

      Place the refrigerated cheese biscuits in air fryer and warm up at 350*F for 3-4 minutes till warm. Or you can always microwave these for about 30-40 seconds till warm.

      All Purpose Flour - Do not pack it tight while measuring. Fill the Measuring Cups lightly and set aside.
