Air Fryer Blueberry Scones

Today, I’m thrilled to share a delightful twist on a classic treat: Air Fryer Blueberry Scones. This recipe combines the rustic charm of traditional scones with the modern twist of using an air fryer, making it a perfect blend of old and new. Let’s dive into the world of delicious, fluffy scones that you can whip up in no time!

Why Air Fryer Scones?

Using an air fryer for baking scones not only saves time but also reduces the amount of oil needed, resulting in a healthier yet incredibly tasty treat. The air fryer circulates hot air around the dough, giving the scones a perfect golden crust with a soft, airy inside. Perfect for a quick breakfast or a cozy afternoon snack!

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup sugar, plus extra for topping
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
• 3/4 cup heavy cream, plus extra for brushing
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2. Add the cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Stir in the heavy cream and vanilla extract until the dough starts to come together, then gently fold in the blueberries.
4. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and shape into a round disc about 1 inch thick. Cut into 8 wedges.
5. Place the scones in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching. Brush the tops with a little extra cream and sprinkle with sugar.
6. Cook in the air fryer at 380°F (193°C) for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
7. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Air Fryer Blueberry Scones warm!
