Cheese Scones Recipe

Making cheese scones in the air fryer is a quick and easy process that results in deliciously golden, fluffy, cheese-flavored rolls. Here’s a simple recipe to try:

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup butter roast without salt, diced
1 cup grated cheddar Cheese
2/3 cup milk
1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
Preheat air fryer:
Preheat air fryer to 190°C for about 3-5 minutes.
Prepare the dough:
In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
Add the cold, diced butter to the flour mixture and, using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the grated cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.Gradually add the milk to the flour mixture and stir until a dough forms. Be careful not to over mix.
Form the buns:
Place the dough on a lightly floured work surface and knead gently a few times until it comes together.
Shape the dough into a circle about 2.5 cm thick.
Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces using a sharp knife or a dough cutter.Air Fry Rolls:
Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper or lightly grease with cooking spray.
Place the buns in the air fryer basket, leaving some space between each bun.
Brush the top of the rolls with beaten egg to create a golden crust.
Air fry the rolls at 190°C (375°F) for 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook it in batches.Serve and Enjoy:
Once the rolls are done, remove them from the air fryer and place them on a rack to cool slightly.
Serve the cheese scones warm, on their own or with butter, jam or additional cheese if desired.
These air fryer cheese puffs are perfect for breakfast, brunch or as a snack. They are best enjoyed fresh and hot from the deep fryer. Experiment with different cheeses or add herbs for additional flavor variations.Enjoy
