air fryer cheese scones

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (180°C) for a few minutes.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and optional garlic powder and dried parsley.
3. Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and sour cream until well combined.
6. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix; just mix until the ingredients are combined.
7. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a couple of times until it comes together. Roll or pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick.
8. Use a round biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out scones from the dough.
9. Place the scones in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving some space between each one.
10. Air fry at 350°F (180°C) for about 10-12 minutes or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through. The exact time may vary depending on your air fryer, so keep an eye on them.
11. Once done, remove the scones from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
