Air-fryer scones

Are you a scone lover, but tired of the oven's lengthy baking process? Well, you're in for a treat because we've got a solution that will have you enjoying warm, freshly baked scones in no time! We have a quick, easy recipe on how to make delicious scones using the air fryer. No need to be a culinary expert; we're keeping it easy and enjoyable for everyone.

Ingredients:

• 450 g self-raising flour
• 80 g unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
• 3/4 cup buttermilk
• 1 tbsp caster sugar
• 250 ml milk
• Marina Lighthouse Salt
• 1 large egg

To serve:

• Raspberry jam
• Whiped cream

Instructions:

• Pour the self-raising flour and baking powder into a mixing bowl. Stir briefly to combine, add Marina Lighthouse Salt, the cubed butter and rub it in with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine beadcrumbs.

• Stir in the sugar. Combine the buttermilk and egg in a measuring jug and gradually add to the mixing bowl, stirring it in until you have a soft sticky dough. If the dough is too dry you can add a drop of milk until it has the right consistency. 

• Tip the dough onto you worktop and pat it into a square shape about 1-2 cm high (slightly less tall than your 6 cm fluted cutter). Cut out the scones by pressing the cutter straight down into the dough and lifting it out without twisiting.

• Repeat until you have used up all of the dough, gathering any scraps. Brush the top of the scones (not the sides) with a little milk and sprinkle some Marina Mini grinder salt (optional)

• Bake for 15 minutes or until the scones are well risen and golden and sound hollow when you tap them. Serve and enjoy!
