Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 325°F (165°C) only if your model needs it.
  2. Whisk the flour, sugar and baking powder together in a medium bowl.
  3. Rub the cold diced butter into the flour with your fingertips until it looks like fine breadcrumbs.
  4. Gradually add the milk and mix lightly until combined.
  5. Turn the mixture onto a surface and gently bring it into a dough without kneading.
  6. Pat the dough into a disc about 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick.
  7. Cut straight down with a 2½-inch (6.5 cm) round cutter without twisting, then brush only the tops with egg wash.
  8. Line the air fryer basket with parchment and place the scones evenly spaced apart.
  9. Bake at 325°F (165°C) for 15–18 minutes, until golden on top and firm when lightly pressed.
  10. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool.
  11. To reheat leftovers, warm them in the air fryer at 350°F (180°C) for 1–2 minutes.
