Air Fryer Lemon Scones

Everyone who knows me, knows I love a good scone. I think my obsession started when I lived around the corner from King Arthur Bakery in Vermont. I mean since I lived so close, you just had to go there, like every day, and get something baked because it is all amazing. Today, I didn’t have time to bake a scone, so I reached for a lemon cake mix, I had in my pantry, and created these easy Air Fryer Lemon Scones.

So, before I started I wanted to mention to you that using a cake mix. Really only means that you are using a bunch of ingredients already mixed for you.

If you look at a box of cake mix, they have ingredients such as flour, baking soda, vegetable oil shortening, and some other ingredients. This means you already have a base of flour, sugar, baking soda, and a fat, either vegetable shortening or corn syrup. This will depend on what cake mix you are using.

So, today I used a box of lemon cake mix, which means it has some ingredients for making your cake mix taste lemony. In this recipe, it will make your lemon scones taste lemony.

Here are the Simple Ingredients I used Today, for Air Fryer Lemon Scones:

• 1 1/4 cup flour
• 1 1/4 cup lemon cake mix
• 8 tablespoons of cold butter
• 3/4 cup milk
• Melted butter
• Sparkling Sugar

Here Are The Really Simple Instructions,

In a large mixing bowl, mix together the cake mix and the flour.

Add the cold butter, and mix well. This helps you get the flaky texture of a scone.

Add the milk, and mix well.

Mix well, scraping the sides down for all of the flour, and cake mix.

Spray your scone pan with olive oil spray.

Spread your scone batter into the cavities.

Brush the top of the scones with melted butter and then sprinkle some sparkling sugar on top.

Set your filled scone pan in the air fryer and set the temperature to 330 degrees F, for 12 to 16 minutes. (air fryer setting)
