Step 1

Place flour and sugar in a bowl and mix. Add in cubed butter.

Step 2

Rub the fat into the flour. Do this with your fingertips until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.

Step 3

Add in enough milk to make a soft dough, for us this was 60ml. Then roll out your dough on a floured worktop and aim for at least 1.5cm thick or your scones will be too small.

Step 4

Using cutters, cut your dough to medium sized scones and then place in the air fryer basket.

Step 5

Spray the air fryer basket with extra virgin olive oil to prevent sticking and then brush the tops and sides of the scones with egg wash.

Step 6

Air fry for 5 minutes on 180c/360f, followed by a further 2 minutes at 160c/320f.

Step 7

Serve with strawberry jam, sliced strawberries and cream.
