Certainly! Making scones in an air fryer is a quick and efficient way to enjoy these delicious treats. Here’s a basic recipe for air fryer scones:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: 1/2 cup dried fruits, such as raisins or currants
Instructions:
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350Β°F (180Β°C).
- Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the milk and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined. If you’re using dried fruits, fold them into the dough.
- Shape the Scones: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a 1-inch thick round. Use a round cookie cutter or a glass to cut out scones from the dough.
- Arrange in Air Fryer Basket: Place the scones in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving some space between them to allow for even cooking.
- Air Fry: Cook the scones in the preheated air fryer for about 10-12 minutes or until they are golden brown on the top and cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the scones to cool for a few minutes before serving. You can serve them with clotted cream, jam, or butter.
Note: Cooking times may vary depending on the specific model of your air fryer, so keep an eye on the scones to prevent overcooking.
