Servings: 4
Equipment
- Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup butter slightly softened
- 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 large egg
- 3/4 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 4 tablespoon milk
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until well combined.
- Add the flour and baking powder. Mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a small bowl, whisk the egg and milk together.
- Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture and stir until a soft dough begins to form.
- Gently fold in the blueberries. If using frozen blueberries, add them straight from the freezer to prevent excess moisture.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and gently shape it into a circle about 1-inch thick. Cut into 6 wedges.
- Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper and arrange the scones in a single layer, leaving space between them.
- Air fry at 330°F (165°C) for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and the centers are cooked through.
- Remove the scones from the basket and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- Keep the butter slightly cool rather than fully softened for a lighter, flakier texture.
- If using frozen blueberries, add them directly from frozen to prevent the dough from turning purple.
- Avoid overworking the dough. Mix just until combined for tender, bakery-style scones.
