Air Fryer Cheese Scones
🌿 Hello, lovelies and welcome back
to the Recipe Club!
✨ This recipe was developed as I’m about to start hosting live cooking classes, the space I’m using doesn’t have access to ovens, but we do have access to air fryers! It also ties into the cost of living crisis, where a lot of people still aren’t turning their ovens on as much because they’re so expensive! So let’s adapt this recipe to our air fryers!
Servings: 10-12
Ingredients
🧀Cheese scones
350g plain flour
10g baking powder
7g fine sea salt
120 g unsalted butter, cold and cubed
100g grated red Leicester cheese
100g sharp cheddar cheese
225 g buttermilk, plus more if needed
2 egg yolks
Maldon sea salt flakes
30g grated red Leicester cheese

👩‍🍳 Let’s cook!
Whisk flour, salt, and baking powder in a the bowl of your food processor until it’s fully incorporated, then add your cold butter and using the pulse option, whizz until that’s fully incorporated, too.
Using a rubber spatula, stir in the grated cheese.
Make a well in the flour mixture and pour in your buttermilk. Fold it together using the rubber spatula until it forms a shaggy dough.
Lightly grease your work surface and rolling pin with a neutral oil (I use vegetable) or flour, and roll the dough out until it’s 1” thick and use a cutter to cut out your rounds, placing them on a lined baking tray.
Cover and refrigerate until the air fryer has preheated to 180°C, and brush the tops (not the sides) of your scones with the egg yolks, and sprinkle with some Maldon sea salt and an equal amount of cheese.
Cook in the air fryer for 10 minutes and serve with some homemade butter.
