Air Fryer Scones

Print Recipe

Try these easy Air Fryer Scones for a delicious morning or afternoon tea treat. These lemonade scones are made with just 4 ingredients and are so fluffy and moist. Serve with cream and jam.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups Self Raising Flour
  • ½ cup Lemonade (see notes)
  • ½ cup Thickened Cream / Heavy Cream
  • ¼ cup Caster Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Milk, for brushing

To Serve

  • Jam and Cream

Instructions

  • Sift flour into a large mixing bowl, then add sugar, cream and lemonade. Use a butter knife to mix together gently until a soft sticky dough forms.
  • Pour the dough out onto a floured surface and knead lightly to bring together, then shape into an approximately 3cm / 1 inch thick disc. Using a 6cm / 2.5inch scone cutter, cut dough into rounds. Press the cutter straight up and down (don’t twist) and flour the cutter in between each round. Place the rounds into the air fryer basket or tray with a small gap in between each one.
  • Brush the top of the scones lightly with milk, then cook on 180C / 350F for 15-20 minutes, or until golden on top. Move to a wire rack to cool and cover with a clean tea towel to prevent the tops from getting crusty.
  • Serve with jam and cream.

Notes

  • There are clear step by step photo instructions located in the post above.
  • I use Schweppes or Kirks lemonade for the recipe. If you are outside of Australia, lemonade is referring to soda pop drinks like Sprite, NOT homemade lemonade made with freshly squeezed lemons.
  • Be careful not to overwork the mixture. You want to gently mix the dough together with a flat butter knife, then gently knead it and shape it into a disc.
  • Don’t twist the scone cutter when you’re cutting the rounds as this can cause them to lose their shape whilst baking. Also be sure to flour the cutter in between each round so it doesn’t stick.
  • You want your scone rounds to be thick (approx. 3cm / 1 inch thick).
  • Check in on your scones around 10 mins – you don’t want to overcook them and every air fryer is different.
  • Scones are best fresh and warm but will store in an airtight container for a few days. Just give them a zap in the microwave for 20-30 seconds before serving.
