How To Store Scones:

Scones are a tasty treat, but they can be a little tricky to store. If you don’t want your scones going stale before you have the chance to eat them, follow this guide on how to store scones.

Store: You can easily store these in an airtight container or Ziploc Bag. They will stay at room temperature for 2 to 3 days.

Freeze: If you want to keep your scones longer than three days, you can freeze these for later. Let them cool to room temperature, wrap them up in saran wrap, and place them into a freezer bag. They will last for about 2 to 3 months. For best results, let the scones thaw overnight in the refrigerator.

Reheat: You can either reheat in the microwave or the air fryer. Heat until warmed through.

What Pans Can I Use For My Scones in the Air Fryer?

There are several different types of scones pans that you can use in your air fryer. The pan that you use is dependent on what air fryer you own.

Some of my favorites are: (affiliate links included)
