INGREDIENTS
150 grams self raising flour
½ tsp baking powder
1 pinch salt
40 grams butter
25 grams caster sugar superfine
30 g raisins or sultanas
80 ml milk
1 tbsp self-raising flour for dusting
INSTRUCTIONS
Weigh 150 g (1 ¼ cups) self-raising flour into a medium bowl, add ½ tsp baking powder and a pinch of salt. Add 40 g (3 tbsp) butter cut into small cubes.
Rub the butter through the flour with gentle movements until the mixture looks like fine breadcrumbs. OR use a food processor to combine the ingredients.
Add the 25 grams of caster (superfine) sugar and 30 g raisins or sultanas and stir through the mixture.
Pre heat the air fryer.
Add 80 ml milk to the mixture and use the blunt knife to stir the mixture together, just enough to combine ( you may need a little less or a little more milk) Then turn the mixture out onto a floured surface.
Knead the dough quickly and lightly, then pat the dough out into a flat disk about 2.5 cm (1 in ) deep.
Use a plain 6 cm (2½ in) cutter to cut out four scones. Pat the dough back together gently so you can use all the dough. You may have a little dough left over but not enough for another full size scone.
Put a piece of baking parchment in the base of your air fryer and place four scones, spread apart, onto the baking parchment.
Use a pastry brush to brush the tops of the scones with a little extra milk.
Close the air fryer and set to 185C (365F). Bake the scones for 11 minutes.
Remove from the air fryer and cool for at least 5 minutes on a cooling rack.
