How to make Air Fryer Blueberry Scones

Credits: PowerXL

• Preparation Time: 10 minutes
• Cooking Time: 15 minutes
• Servings: 8 scones

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
• Additional sugar for sprinkling

Instructions

1. Preheat your Air Fryer to 350°F (180°C).
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your hands, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract.
5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Gently fold in the blueberries.
7. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a circle about 1 inch thick. Use a knife or a pastry cutter to cut the dough into 8 triangles.
8. Place the scones in the Air Fryer basket, making sure not to overcrowd them. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your Air Fryer.
9. Sprinkle the tops of the scones with additional sugar.
10. Air fry for 15 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
11. Allow the scones to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!

Tips and Tricks

• Substitute blueberries with raspberries or chocolate chips for a different flavor.
• Add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the dough for a hint of citrus.
• If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them; add directly to the dough to avoid excess moisture.
