Air Fryer Scones Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup cold butter, cubed
- 3/4 cup milk (or buttermilk)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Optional: 1/2 cup of add-ins (e.g., chocolate chips, dried fruit, or nuts)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Dough:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the cold butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the milk and vanilla extract until just combined. If you’re using any add-ins, fold them in gently.
- Shape the Scones:
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently a few times to bring it together.
- Pat the dough into a circle about 1-inch thick. Cut it into wedges (like a pizza) or use a biscuit cutter for round scones.
- Prepare the Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 320°F (160°C).
- Cook the Scones:
- Place the scones in the air fryer basket, making sure they don’t touch (you may need to do this in batches).
- Cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown on top. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean.
- Cool and Serve:
- Remove the scones from the air fryer and let them cool on a wire rack. Enjoy them warm with butter, jam, or clotted cream!
Tips:
- For extra flavor, you can brush the tops with milk or egg wash before cooking.
- Adjust the cooking time based on your air fryer model; some may cook faster than others.
Enjoy your air-fried scones!
