I recently learned a recipe for a rather bizarre scone that uses fizzy lemonade as a raising agent. I’m testing that recipe (along with air fryer Welshcakes) right now and will post shortly. For now, though, here is a more traditional recipe. The secret to scones is not to over-work the dough. Pat, don’t knead — and when you come to stamp out the scones push straight down with the cutter, don’t twist or saw.
Ingredients:
250g (2 cups) Self-raising Flour
55g (1/4 cup) Butter
30g (3 tbsp) Caster Sugar
65ml (1/4 cup) Whole Milk
1 egg for Egg Wash
Extra Virgin Olive Oil Spray
Squirty Cream (optional)
Fresh Strawberries (optional)
Strawberry Jam (optional)
Method:
Combine the flour and sugar in a bowl and mix then add in cubed butter.
Rub the fat into the flour with your fingertips, until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
Add in enough milk to make a soft dough, for me this was 60ml (1/4 cup). Then pat your dough together on a floured worktop, aiming for an even mass around 2-2.5cm (1 in) thick, or your scones will be too small.
Using cutters, cut your dough to medium sized scones and then place in the air fryer basket.
Spray the air fryer basket with extra virgin olive oil to prevent sticking and then brush the tops and sides of the scones with egg wash.
Air fry for 5 minutes on 180°C/360°F, followed by a further 2 minutes at 160°C/320°F.
Serve with strawberry jam, sliced strawberries and cream.
If you would like really tall scones like you see in magazines, then double the ingredients and then double the thickness of the dough as you add the scones to the air fryer. Then add 3 extra minutes of cooking time.
