Scones are adored by many and they come in every flavour imaginable from classic plain, fruity delights to savoury cheese-laden treats. Having a simple yet versatile recipe at your disposal means you can whip up your personal favourites with ease and perhaps cheaper than buying them in supermarkets. Taking to her Farmersgirl Kitchen blog where she shares her recipes, Janice Pattie posted her scone recipe that can be made in the air fryer .
She said: “This quick and easy recipe makes four delicious scones that simply melt in your mouth. “Serve them for afternoon tea with jam and cream, or eat these delicious scones straight from the air fryer with lots of butter.” So why use the air fryer? Well, compared to your oven, an air fryer will heat up quickly due to the smaller size and the fan and cooking in an air fryer is about half the cost of cooking in a standard oven.
Janice pointed out: “Scones bake best in high heat and the circulating heat in the air fryer helps to ensure they bake evenly all over.” When following this recipe , the scones will take five minutes to prep and 10 minutes to cook. Ingredients 150g self-raising flour Half a teaspoon baking powder 40g butter 25g caster sugar 60ml milk Method Start by weighing the flour in a medium bowl and add the baking powder.
Cut the butter into small cubes and add to the flour mix. Rub the butter through the flour with gentle movements until the mixture looks like fine breadcrumbs. Add the sugar and mix through.
