Instructions
1. Prep the Biscuits:

- Air fry for 10 minutes, then flip the biscuits and cook for another 10 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
4. Optional Butter Finish:
- Brush the hot biscuits with melted butter immediately after air frying for extra flavor and shine.
5. Serve:
- Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with your favorite dipping sauce or on their own!
Notes

- Ham Alternatives: Substitute with turkey, bacon, or leftover deli meats.
