Equipment

• air fryer
• large mixing bowl
• pastry cutter
• separate bowl
• floured surface
• round biscuit cutter

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
• 1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

1. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. Add the cold butter cubes to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, incorporate the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Mix in the grated cheddar cheese until evenly distributed in the flour mixture.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg. Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
6. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick round. Use a round biscuit cutter to cut out scones.
7. Place the scones in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving some space between each. Air fry for 8-10 minutes or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through.
8. Sprinkle chopped fresh chives on top of the scones for added flavor and visual appeal.
9. Allow the scones to cool for a few minutes before serving. They are delicious when served warm.
