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.
- Serve the scones split with butter and jam.
