Scones

Preparation

Put the self-raising flour in a bowl and add the butter in small cubes. Rub the butter into the flour with your fingertips until the mixture has a crumbly texture. Then mix in the sugar and salt.

Next, pour in the milk and use a fork or knife to mix everything into a rough, cohesive dough. Then briefly knead it with your hands until smooth.

Roll or press the dough out to a thickness of about 3 centimeters. Use a round cutter with a diameter of 5 centimeters to cut scones from the dough.

Knead the leftover dough scraps together again, roll out once more, and cut out more scones. Repeat this process until all the dough has been used.

Place the scones in the air fryer basket and lightly brush the tops with a little milk.

Bake them in the air fryer at 180°C for 8–10 minutes, until nicely golden brown and cooked through.
