Scones, enjoyed by many, come in a variety of flavors, from classic plain to fruity and savory cheese-filled options. Having a simple yet versatile recipe on hand allows you to easily make your favorite scones at home, potentially saving you money compared to store-bought ones.
Janice Pattie, a food blogger at Farmersgirl Kitchen, shared her scone recipe that can be prepared in an air fryer. This quick and easy recipe yields four delectable scones that are tender and perfect for serving with jam and cream or simply with butter.
Using an air fryer offers benefits such as rapid heating due to its compact size and fan, resulting in roughly half the cost of baking in a traditional oven. The circulating heat in the air fryer ensures even baking, especially ideal for scones that require high heat.
To make these scones, start by mixing flour and baking powder, then incorporate butter and milk to form a soft dough. Shape the dough, cut out scones, and place them in the air fryer lined with parchment paper. After brushing the scones with milk, bake them at 185°C for 10 minutes, then let them cool before serving warm with jam and cream.
