Here’s an easy and delicious recipe for Air Fryer Cheese Scones!

Air Fryer Cheese Scones

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup cold butter, cubed
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 3/4 cup milk

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Air Fryer:

   • Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).

2. Make the Scone Dough:

   • In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
   • Add the cold butter cubes into the dry ingredients. Use your fingers, a pastry cutter, or two forks to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

3. Add Cheese and Milk:

   • Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
   • Gradually add the milk, mixing until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough, as that can make the scones tough.

4. Shape the Scones:

   • Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times to bring it together. Then, flatten the dough into a circle about 1-inch thick.
   • Using a knife or pastry cutter, cut the dough into 6-8 wedges.

5. Air Fry the Scones:

   • Place the scone wedges in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching. You may need to work in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
   • Air fry for 8-10 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown on top and cooked through.

6. Serve:

   • Once done, let the scones cool slightly before serving. They are delicious warm or at room temperature.

These Air Fryer Cheese Scones are perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside with a rich cheesy flavor. They’re the perfect addition to any breakfast or tea time! Enjoy!
