AIR FRYER BLUEBERRY SCONES

Air fryer blueberry scones are so yummy! Add a little vanilla glaze, and breakfast doesn’t get any better than this. Plus, making scones in the air fryer is quick and easy.

In this post, I’ll tell you how to make scones in the air fryer (homemade or from muffin mix), tips for making the perfect scones, and the right tools and pan to make your air fryer scones a success.

If you have never made scones or even eaten them, you are missing out! They are one of my favorite breakfasts on a lazy weekend morning. My kids love them, and I enjoy them with a great big cup of hot coffee.

The air fryer does a fantastic job at baking. If you have not yet baked with your air fryer, this recipe is a great place to start. Easy and delicious.

What Are Scones?
When we think of scones, we often think of a dry, baked good. But these Air Fryer Blueberry Scones come out moist and delicious.

Scones can be sweet or savory and are usually cut or shaped into wedges. American scones are sweeter and less dense than their British counterpart, which they sometimes call biscuits.

In England, scones are typically served with lemon curd, clotted cream, or jam. In America, we tend to eat them as they are.

Can I Add Other Fruit Besides Blueberries?
Yes, you can add any fruit that is in season or that you like. Remember to cut your fresh fruit into small pieces. This is important if you are using peaches or apples. I also like using dried fruits and nuts.

Some popular add-ins for American scones are cherries, chocolate chips, cranberries, cinnamon, and raisins.

Tips for Making the Perfect Scones in Air Fryer

• The milk and butter need to be cold. This gives your scone a great flaky texture.
• Do not preheat the air fryer, as it will not bake correctly.
• If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before use, as they will cause your scones to become soggy and watery.
• Once the dough is mixed, do not keep working the dough, or the gluten will break down and your scones will end up hard.
• Once the scones are done, allow them to cool before icing them.
• If you have any leftovers, place them in a sealed or airtight container. For best results, eat leftover scones within two days.

Can You Make Air Fryer Scones Ahead of Time?
To make this air fryer scone recipe ahead of time, make the dough and shape the scones. Then wrap them individually in plastic wrap, and place them in the refrigerator until ready to air fry. They are best if air-fried within one to two days.

Can you freeze scones?
If you want to freeze the dough, shape the dough and individually wrap them in plastic wrap. They will keep it for about one month in the freezer. When ready to air fry them, either fry them from frozen (add a couple of minutes to the recipe) or let them thaw in the refrigerator.
