Certainly! Making scones in an air fryer is a quick and convenient way to enjoy these delicious baked goods. Here’s a simple 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 unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup dried fruits (optional, such as raisins or currants)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (180°C).
- Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the cold butter pieces and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture 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. Pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick. Use a round cookie cutter or a glass to cut out individual scones.
- Air Fry: Place the scones in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving a little space between each. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Cook: Air fry the scones at 350°F (180°C) for about 10-12 minutes or until they are golden brown on top.
- Cool: Allow the scones to cool slightly before serving.
- Optional Glaze: If you like, you can drizzle a simple glaze over the scones. Mix powdered sugar with a little milk or water until you achieve a thick but pourable consistency, and drizzle it over the cooled scones.
Remember that cooking times may vary depending on your specific air fryer model, so keep an eye on the scones to avoid overcooking. Enjoy your air fryer scones!
