Ingredients
- flour1 cup
- butter3 tbsp
- cheese1/2 cup
- milk1/3 cup
- baking powder1 tsp
- salt1/4 tsp
Method
Rub in the butter
Rub the cold butter into the flour, baking powder and salt with your fingertips until it looks like coarse crumbs. Keeping the butter cold traps little pockets of fat that steam open and make the scones light.
Mix the dough
Stir in the cheese, then add the milk and bring it together into a soft dough. Do not overwork it, because too much mixing toughens the crumb and stops the scones rising well.
Shape the rounds
Pat the dough out to 2 cm thick and cut it into rounds with a cutter. Place them in a lined basket with gaps between so hot air can reach the sides and they brown all over.
Air fry
Air fry at 180°C for 15 min until the scones are risen, golden on top and firm at the base. A firm underside is the sign they are cooked right through and not doughy in the middle.
