Fruit scones in an air fryer

This is a basic recipe for fruit scones made in an air fryer:

Components:

1. Two cups of all-purpose flour
2. 1/4 cup of sugar, granulated
3. One spoonful of baking powder
4. Half a teaspoon of salt
5. Half a cup of chilled, diced unsalted butter
6. Half a cup of dried fruits, like chopped dried apricots, raisins, or currants
7. Two and a third cups of milk (plus extra for brushing)
8. One teaspoon of vanilla extract

Directions:

• Combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a large bowl and whisk to combine.
• Combine the dry ingredients with the chilled, diced butter. Work the butter into the flour with your fingertips or a pastry cutter until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
• Add the dried fruits and stir.
• Combine the milk and vanilla essence in a another basin.
• After adding the milk mixture to the dry ingredients, whisk just until incorporated. The dough should be somewhat crumbly; do not overmix.
• The dough should come together after a few gentle kneads on a lightly floured surface. Make a round out of the dough that is approximately an inch thick.
• Use a knife or a round cutter to cut the dough into scones. Arrange the scones on a tray lined with parchment paper.
• To aid in the scones’ browning in the air fryer, lightly brush their tops with milk.
• Set your air fryer’s temperature to 175°C (350°F). With a small gap between each scone, arrange the scones in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
• The scones should be cooked through and golden brown after 10 to 12 minutes in the air fryer. Keep an eye on them because the precise cooking time may differ depending on the model of your air fryer.
• After the scones are cooked, take them out of the air fryer and place them on a wire rack to cool.
• Warm fruit scones from the air fryer can be served with jam, clotted cream, or your preferred topping.
• Savor your delectable fruit scones from the air fryer!
• It’s a good idea to monitor the scones while they cook because cooking temperatures and timings can vary based on the brand of air fryer you have.
