Can I make Pillsbury biscuits in an air fryer? ›

Canned Pillsbury biscuits will take around 8 minutes to cook in an air fryer. Keep in mind that all air fryers are different, so the cook time on your biscuits may vary.

AIR FRY at 330°F. † Cook 10 minutes. Use tongs to turn biscuits over. COOK an additional 10 minutes or until biscuits are deep golden brown and cooked through.

Dry, room-temperature (68-72 degrees Fahrenheit) biscuits are a hostile environment to live pathogens like bacteria. Of course, any biscuits, no matter how old, may still hold endospores. If the biscuits are completely dehydrated and still inside the original package, then they are still safe to eat .

Freeze and Store Separately

Open the can, separate the raw biscuits, and lay them out on a baking sheet (don't let them touch each other or they will stick together) and freeze. Once frozen, transfer the biscuits to air-tight freezer bags and store them in the freezer.

Biscuits are baked to remove most of the water, and therefore have less water (are dryer) than the surrounding air. Thus they act like a sponge and soak up sufficient of the ambient water vapour to achieve equivalent saturation.
