Air Fryer Scones Ingredients:
225 g Self Raising Flour
50 g Butter
28 g Caster Sugar
60 ml Whole Milk
Egg Wash
Extra Virgin Olive Oil Spray
Squirty Cream optional
Fresh Strawberries optional
Strawberry Jam optional

Instructions:

Place flour and sugar in a bowl and mix. Add in cubed butter.
Rub the fat into the flour. Do this with your fingertips until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
Add in enough milk to make a soft dough, for us this was 60ml. Then roll out your dough on a floured worktop and aim for at least 1.5cm thick or your scones will be too small.
Using cutters, cut your dough to medium sized scones and then place in the air fryer basket.
Spray the air fryer basket with extra virgin olive oil to prevent sticking and then brush the tops and sides of the scones with egg wash.
Air fry for 5 minutes on 180c/360f, followed by a further 12 minutes at 160c/320f.
Serve with strawberry jam, sliced strawberries and cream.

Notes

Height. If you would like really tall scones like you see in magazines, then double the ingredients and then double the thickness of the dough as you add the scones to the air fryer. Then add 3 extra minutes of cook time.
Traditional. Note that this is a traditional British scones recipe from the 1960’s and you are welcome to modernise them if you prefer.
