Air Fryer Scones Ingredients:
- 225 grams of self-raising flour
- 50 grams of butter
- 28 grams of caster sugar
- 60 milliliters of whole milk
- Egg wash
- Extra virgin olive oil spray
- Optional: squirty cream
- Optional: fresh strawberries
- Optional: strawberry jam
Instructions:
- In a bowl, combine the flour and sugar, then add the cubed butter.
- Rub the butter into the flour mixture using your fingertips until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
- Gradually add enough milk to form a soft dough (approximately 60ml).
- Roll out the dough on a floured worktop to a thickness of at least 1.5cm to avoid small scones.
- Use cutters to shape the dough into medium-sized scones and place them in the air fryer basket.
- Spray the air fryer basket with extra virgin olive oil to prevent sticking, then brush the tops and sides of the scones with egg wash.
- Air fry the scones for 5 minutes at 180°C/360°F, then continue cooking for another 12 minutes at 160°C/320°F.
- Serve the scones with optional accompaniments such as strawberry jam, sliced strawberries, and cream.
Notes
For Extra Height: If you’re aiming for scones with a lofty appearance reminiscent of magazine covers, simply double the ingredients and increase the thickness of the dough twofold when placing them in the air fryer. Additionally, add an extra 3 minutes to the cooking time.
Traditional Note: This recipe hails from the 1960s and embodies the essence of traditional British scones. Feel free to modernize it according to your preferences.
