These delicious Air Fryer Cheese Scones are a quick and easy savory treat with a crispy golden exterior and a soft, cheesy interior. Perfect for breakfast or a snack, these scones are made with simple ingredients like cheddar cheese, flour, and butter, all cooked to perfection in the air fryer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup cold butter, cubed
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 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 oven at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes if preferred.
