In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt by whisking them together until everything is evenly mixed.
Add the cold, cubed butter and work it into the flour using your hands or a pastry cutter until the texture is crumbly with small bits of butter still visible.
Pour in the buttermilk and stir gently just until the dough comes together. Try not to overmix — it should stay soft and airy.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it lightly about 6 or 7 times, just enough to bring it together. You’ll still want to see chunks of butter for that flaky texture.
Press the dough into a thick round, about 1½ inches thick. Use a round biscuit cutter (or a glass) to cut out your biscuits, reshaping scraps as needed to get more.
Spray your air fryer basket lightly with nonstick spray. Place the biscuits in, leaving a couple inches between them so the air can circulate properly. You’ll likely fit 4–6 per batch.
Cook in the air fryer at 400°F for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the tops are golden and crisp.
Melt some butter and brush it over the warm biscuits as soon as they’re done for an extra buttery flavor and a nice finish.
These biscuits taste best while warm — serve them with butter, honey, jam, or your favorite gravy!
