Air Fryer Fruit Scones Recipe
These air fryer fruit scones are light, buttery, gently sweet and absolutely delicious. And they bake in just 17 minutes!
Servings: 8 scones
Equipment
- Large bowl
- Pastry brush
Ingredients
- 200 g dried fruit I used cherries and sultanas
- 1 Earl Grey teabag
- 400 g self-raising white flour (self rising flour) plus some for dusting
- 1 tsp granulated white sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 100 g salted butter cold and cubed
- 200 ml whole milk plus a little to brush the tops
Instructions
- Put the fruit in a bowl with the tea bag and cover with approximately 100ml (1/2 cup) of boiled water. Leave to soak for 15 minutes, then remove the tea bag, drain and thoroughly pat dry on kitchen towel.
- Put a liner in the air fryer basket and lightly dust with flour.
- In a bowl, mix the flour, sugar and baking powder.
- Using the tips of your fingers, rub in the butter until you have an even crumb.
- Slowly add the milk while mixing using a flat knife. The mixture should start to clump together.
- Stir in the soaked fruit.
- Tip the dough onto a floured surface and gather together, handling just enough to form into a disc that will fit in your air fryer basket. Don’t overwork the dough.
- Cut the disc into eight equal triangles.
- Lift the scones into the lined air fryer basket.
- Brush the tops with milk.
- Set the air fryer to 160C/320F and bake for 17 minutes until the scones are puffed and golden. Allow to cool before serving.
