Air fryer lemonade scones are a delightful and quick treat that's perfect for afternoon tea or a cozy breakfast. Using simple ingredients like self-raising flour, sugar, heavy whipping cream, lemonade, and a touch of vanilla extract, these scones are both light and flavorful. The air fryer ensures they come out perfectly baked and deliciously tender every time.
Instructions:
- Measure out all the ingredients before you start to ensure smooth preparation.
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). This usually takes about 3-5 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour and sugar. Stir well to ensure the sugar is evenly distributed throughout the flour.
- Slowly pour in the heavy whipping cream and lemonade into the dry mixture. Add the vanilla extract as well. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to gently fold the ingredients together until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be somewhat lumpy.
- On a lightly floured surface, turn out the dough and shape it into a rough circle about 1-inch (2.5 cm) thick. If the dough is too sticky, lightly dust your hands with flour. Using a biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out scones and place them on a piece of parchment paper.
- Place a piece of parchment paper at the bottom of your air fryer basket or on the air fryer baking pan. Carefully arrange the scones on the parchment paper, ensuring they have some space to expand.
- Cook the scones in the preheated air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook the scones in batches.
- Once cooked, remove the scones from the air fryer and let them cool on a wire rack for a few minutes. Serve warm with your favorite spreads like clotted cream, butter, or jam.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in the air fryer for a few minutes before serving to regain their freshness.
Tips:
- Ensure all your ingredients are cold before mixing to achieve the best texture for your scones.
- Don't overmix the dough; just combine until the ingredients are incorporated for a tender scone.
- Preheat your air fryer for a few minutes before placing the scones inside for an even bake.
- Use a cookie cutter to shape your scones uniformly, which ensures they cook evenly.
- Brush the tops of the scones with a bit of cream for a beautiful golden finish.
