Make sure that every ingredient you add to the mixing bowl is chilled! Warm ingredients will make the butter melt before being put in the air fryer
Once you bake the sweet potato, MAKE SURE you chill it in the freezer first. It must be chilled before being added to the flour
I used self rising in this biscuits recipe because it makes my life easier. If you use all purpose, add 1 tsp of baking powder and 1/2 tsp of baking soda.
Don't leave the mixed dough out on the counter, if you are not able to make it right away. Put the dough in the refrigerator so that it stays chilled
If you don't want to use your hands to mix the flour, you can use a food processor but don't mix it for too long. You don't want the butter to melt
Do NOT over mix the dough. You want to keep the butter as whole as possible.
You can also use an ice cream scooper to make the "drop" biscuits. This way, you don't get your hands dirty and you can also get the perfectly shaped biscuits.
It's ok if the dough is a little sticky.
Personally, I prefer to put the biscuits in a baking tray instead of directly in the air fryer basket because I hate to scrub it. But, it's ok to place the dough directly in the basket.
