Air Fryer Scones Ingredients:

• 225 g Self-Raising Flour
• 50 g Butter (cubed)
• 28 g Caster Sugar
• 60 ml Whole Milk
• Egg Wash (for brushing)
• Extra Virgin Olive Oil Spray (for greasing)
• Optional Toppings:
• Squirty Cream
• Fresh Strawberries
• Strawberry Jam

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and sugar. Add the cubed butter and rub it into the flour mixture using your fingertips until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
2. Add Milk: Gradually add the milk to the mixture, stirring to form a soft dough. Roll the dough out on a floured surface to a thickness of about 1.5 cm. Thicker dough will result in taller scones.
3. Cut and Arrange Scones: Using a round cutter, cut the dough into medium-sized scones. Spray the air fryer basket lightly with extra virgin olive oil to prevent sticking. Place the scones in the basket.
4. Egg Wash: Brush the tops and sides of the scones with egg wash to give them a golden finish.
5. Air Frying: Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (360°F). Air fry the scones for 5 minutes at this temperature, then reduce the heat to 160°C (320°F) and continue cooking for another 12 minutes until the scones are golden and cooked through.
6. Serving: Serve warm with strawberry jam, fresh sliced strawberries, and a dollop of cream, if desired.
