Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
In a food processor, pulse the butter and flour until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
Transfer to a bowl and stir in the salt, bicarbonate of soda, and caster sugar.
Using a knife, stir in the milk until just combined—avoid over-mixing to keep the scones light.
Step 2: Shape the Scones
Lightly flour a work surface and gently knead the dough a couple of times.
Pat it out to about 1 inch thick.
Use a floured cutter to stamp out rounds. Gather and reshape any scraps to make more scones.
Step 3: Air Fry the Scones
Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (180°C) for 3–5 minutes.
Brush the tops of the scones with a little milk and sprinkle with crushed sugar cubes.
Place the scones in the air fryer basket, leaving space between them.
Air fry at 350°F (180°C) for 10–12 minutes, until risen and golden brown.
Step 4: Cool & Serve
Transfer the scones to a wire rack and let them cool for a few minutes.
Serve warm with butter, jam, or clotted cream.
