Tips for Making the Perfect Air Fryer Scones-
- The milk and butter need to be cold. This gives your scone a great flaky texture.
- Do not preheat the air fryer, as it will not bake correctly.
- If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before use, as they will cause your scones to become soggy and watery.
- Once the dough is mixed, do not keep working the dough, or the gluten will break down and become tough.
- Once the scones are done, allow them to cool before icing them.
How to Store The Scones-
If you have any uneaten baked scones, place them in a sealed or airtight container. For best results, eat them within two days.
How to Make Ahead Blueberry Scones-
Make the dough and shape them. Then wrap them individually in saran wrap, place them in the refrigerator until ready to air fry. They are best if air-fried within 1 to 2 days.
If you want to freeze the dough, shape the dough and individually wrap them in saran wrap. They will keep for about 1 month. When ready to air fry them, either air fry them from frozen (add a couple of minutes to the recipe) or let them thaw in the refrigerator.
How Do I Get My Scones Not To be So Hard?
The scones are usually hard because they are overmixed. The key to a light and airy pastry is to stir just until the dough is combined.
Overmxiing with cause your dough to be hard.
What Other Fruits & Add-Ins Can I Use in My Air Fryer Scones?

What Can I Put on My Scones?
