These delicious Air Fryer Cheese Scones are perfectly golden brown and fluffy, made with simple ingredients like cheddar cheese, milk, and butter. They’re easy to prepare, and the air fryer makes them perfectly crisp on the outside while soft on the inside! Great for breakfast, brunch, or a snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  1. 2 cups all-purpose flour
  2. 1 tablespoon baking powder
  3. 1/2 teaspoon salt
  4. 1/4 cup cold butter, cubed
  5. 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  6. 3/4 cup milk
  7. 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Cut in the Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or fork to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Add the Cheese: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
  • Add the Milk: Pour in the milk and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough.
  • Form the Biscuits: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times. Pat the dough to about 1/2-inch thickness. Use a round biscuit cutter to cut out the biscuits. Re-roll the scraps as needed to cut out more biscuits.
  • Prepare for Air Frying: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes. Place the biscuits in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not touch each other.
  • Brush with Egg Wash: Lightly brush the tops of the biscuits with the beaten egg for a golden color.
  • Air Fry the Biscuits: Air fry the biscuits at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  • Cool and Serve: Remove the biscuits from the air fryer and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.

Notes

  • You can also bake these scones in your conventional oven at 350°F for 12-15 minutes if you don’t have an air fryer.
  • For a richer flavor, add some herbs like chives or thyme to the dough before air frying.
