Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/4 cup cold butter, cubed Ensure the butter is cold for flakiness.
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Add-ins
- 1/2 cup your favorite add-ins (e.g., chocolate chips, dried fruit, nuts) Customize to your taste.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together.
- Add the cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to blend it in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg, and vanilla extract together.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until just combined. If you’re adding toppings, fold them in gently.
- Turn the mixture out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead the dough a couple of times until it holds together, being careful not to overwork it.
- Pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick. Cut it into wedges or use a round cutter for uniform shapes.
Cooking
- Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Arrange the scone pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between each piece.
- Cook for 10-12 minutes or until the scones are golden brown on top.
- Remove them from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
