Air Fryer Jammy Roasted Strawberry Scones
These tender scones with pockets of roasted strawberries are perfect for brunch or a sweet treat.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons sugar, divided
- 1/2 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces (plus extra for greasing)
- 1 teaspoon thyme leaves
- 1/2 cup heavy cream, divided
- 4 ounces strawberries, hulled and quartered
Instructions:
Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, 2 1/2 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add butter and cut it in with a pastry blender or your fingers until coarse, irregular crumbs form. Toss with thyme.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Add 7 tablespoons of heavy cream to the dry mixture and mix until just combined and a tiny handful of the mixture holds together when squeezed.
- Fold in strawberries.
Form the Dough:
- Turn the mixture out onto a parchment-lined work surface and press together into a mass.
- Fold the mixture in half onto itself two or three times, using a piece of parchment as a guide, until the dough comes together.
- Shape the dough into a 1-inch-thick disk (about 5 inches in diameter). Cut into 8 wedges.
Prepare for Air Frying:
- Cut a piece of parchment paper to the size of the air fryer basket, brush lightly with room temperature butter, and place in the basket, butter side up.
- Heat the air fryer to 355°F.
Air Fry the Scones:
- Working in batches if needed, carefully arrange scones in the parchment-lined basket, pointed side facing in, and spread as far apart as possible.
- Brush the tops with the remaining 1 tablespoon of cream and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of sugar.
- Air-fry until golden brown, about 10 to 14 minutes.
Cool and Serve:
- Immediately transfer scones to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.
- Enjoy these delightful, jammy scones with a warm cup of tea or coffee!
