How to make Air Fryer Raspberry Scones
Prep Time 15 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes
Servings 8
Ingredients:
- 100g (3.5oz) raspberries;
- ½ tsp vanilla;
- 4 tbsp buttermilk;
- 1 egg, beaten;
- 30g (1oz) butter;
- ½ tsp salt;
- ½ tsp baking soda;
- 1½ tsp baking powder;
- 4 tbsp sugar, divided;
- 125g (4.4oz) plain flour.
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the plain flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the butter, using a pastry blender or two forks, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the beaten egg, buttermilk, and vanilla.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined.
- Fold in the raspberries carefully to avoid breaking them too much.
- Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead 10 times or until the dough is cohesive.
- Form the dough into a 15cm (6″) circle and cut into 8 equal wedges. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar.
- Place the scones separately in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not touch. Set the air fryer to 360°F and bake for about 6 minutes, or until the scones are golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Serve your raspberry scones warm, perhaps with a dollop of cream or a drizzle of honey for an extra touch of indulgence. Enjoy the burst of berry flavors with each bite of these easy and delicious scones!
