Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder.

2. Add the cold cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or fork to cut it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

3. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese.

4. Gradually add the buttermilk, mixing just until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.

Step 2: Shape the Biscuits

1. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough per biscuit and gently shape into a ball.

2. Flatten slightly (about ½-inch thick) and place on a parchment-lined tray.

Step 3: Air Fry the Biscuits

1. Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 3 minutes.

2. Place biscuits in the air fryer basket, leaving space between them (cook in batches if needed).

3. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 4: Add Garlic Butter Topping

1. While the biscuits cook, mix melted butter, garlic powder, parsley, and salt in a small bowl.

2. As soon as the biscuits come out of the air fryer, brush them generously with the garlic butter.

Step 5: Serve Warm

• Best enjoyed fresh out of the air fryer while still warm and buttery!
