Ingredients
- 250 g flour
- 15 g baking powder
- 50 g salted butter
- 100 g dried fruit
- 40 g sugar
- 100 ml buttermilk
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp cream see post for alternative ingredients for brushing on top of raw scones.
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
- Optional: Try to use metal utensils and chill them in the refrigerator before using.
- Pre heat the air fryer to 350 degrees F. / 180 degrees C.
- Sift the flour and baking powder into a metal bowl.
- Finely grate the frozen butter into the bowl.
- Use a pastry cutter to rub the butter into the flour.
- When the butter and flour look like breadcrumbs, add a pinch of salt.
- Add the sugar and dried fruit to the bowl and mix with the flour.
- Beat the egg and add it to the buttermilk and mix.
- Pour the buttermilk and egg into the bowl.
- Lightly use your fingertips to mix the wet and dry ingredients together to form a dough.
- Place the dough onto a lightly floured surface.
- Roll the dough out to a 1½ inch / 3½ -4 cm thickness. Using a 7cm / 2¾ inch cutter, push down but DO NOT twist. Allow the cutter to lift the dough out.
- Place as many Scones as will fit into the Air Fryer basket, lined with parchment paper. Brush their tops with cream.
