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:
-
Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Serve:
- Once done, let the scones cool slightly before serving. They are delicious warm or at room temperature.
