Preparation Time

  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 7 minutes
  • Total Time: 17 minutes

Ingredients

For the Scones

  • 225 g self-raising flour
  • 50 g butter, cubed
  • 28 g caster sugar
  • 60 ml whole milk

For the Topping and Serving

  • Egg wash (1 egg beaten with a splash of milk)
  • Extra virgin olive oil spray
  • Optional: squirty cream, fresh strawberries, and strawberry jam

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough:
    • In a mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour and caster sugar.
    • Add the cubed butter and rub it into the flour using your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
  2. Add Milk:
    • Gradually add the milk to form a soft dough. Use your hands to gently bring the dough together. Avoid overworking it.
  3. Shape the Scones:
    • Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the dough to about 1.5 cm thickness.
    • Use a round cutter to cut out medium-sized scones. Re-roll the dough scraps as needed.
  4. Prepare the Air Fryer:
    • Spray the air fryer basket with extra virgin olive oil to prevent sticking.
    • Place the scones in the basket, leaving a little space between each one.
  5. Egg Wash:
    • Brush the tops and sides of the scones with the egg wash for a golden finish.
  6. Air Fry the Scones:
    • Air fry at 180°C (360°F) for 5 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 160°C (320°F) and cook for an additional 12 minutes.
  7. Serve:
    • Once cooked, serve warm with strawberry jam, sliced strawberries, and squirty cream for a traditional British tea-time treat.

Notes

  • For Taller Scones: Double the ingredients and roll the dough to double the thickness. Add an extra 3 minutes to the cooking time.
  • Traditional Recipe: This is a classic British scone recipe from the 1960s. Feel free to adapt it with modern flavors or toppings if desired.
