Air Fryer, Cranberry Scones

I love scones, I really do. When I first got married, I used to live near a bakery in Vermont and I would bring the kids there once a month for a special treat. Really, I do not know who the treat was for, me or them. It was the perfect afternoon coffee break for me, I would always get a scone with a cup of hot coffee. They had excellent coffee. Nothing is better than Air Fryer Cranberry Scones.

I am not a baker, this surprises most people, but I never really could figure out the baking thing with the oven. But, when I got an air fryer it seemed less intimidating, so I tried scones. I bought a pan off of Amazon and cut it, not the most scientific thing I remind you, but it was silicone and I knew I could cut it to fit my air fryer.

Here is the first pan I bought for my air fryer.

If you are not familiar with scones, they are really light and airy pastry, everyone always thinks they are dry, but that is not true unless you over air fry them. They are actually really a great breakfast treat, and is really great, especially with the dried or fresh cranberries tossed in.

They make a great holiday breakfast, especially during the fall, when you can find fresh cranberries, if you can not find fresh cranberries, simply swap them out for dried cranberries.

Some Tips for Making Air Fryer Cranberry Scones–

1. Use cold butter, the colder the butter the better texture you will get from your scones.
2. Do not over mix, once the dough comes together stop mixing.  Lumps are your friend.
3. For the air fryer do not preheat your air fryer, they will come out better.
4. If you are cutting them out into individual pieces (the scone pan) space them out. So the air can circulate around them.
5. If you only have frozen cranberries, throw them in frozen.
6. Serve with jam, butter, or cream.
