Ingredients Needed

How To Make Easy Air Fryer Peach Scones
Step One: Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium mixing bowl.
Step Two: Cut cold butter into small chunks (½ tablespoon-size pieces) and add to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry blender or two forks to cut the butter into the flour mixture until the butter is broken down into pea-size pieces.
Step Three: Add buttermilk and almond extract and stir to combine into a rough mixture. Add the chopped peaches to the scone mixture and gently stir in without squishing the peaches.
Step Four: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide in half. Form each dough half into a circle and pat out until it is no more than ¾” thick.
Step Five: Score the dough lightly into wedges and lift carefully into the greased air fryer basket.
Step Six: Set air fryer temperature to 350 degrees F for 12-15 minutes or until the scone is cooked.
Step Seven: Whisk together glaze ingredients, adjusting the amount of cream until the desired consistency is reached. Drizzle glaze over scones and allow to set.
Easy Air Fryer Peach Scones Recipe Tips
- Use cold ingredients: Keep your butter and peaches chilled for a flakier, tender scone.
- Don’t overmix: Stir the dough just until combined to avoid dense scones.
- Uniform size: Cut or shape scones evenly so they cook consistently in the air fryer.
- Optional glaze: Brush with a little melted butter or a simple powdered sugar glaze for extra sweetness.
- Air fryer basket prep: Lightly grease or line the basket to prevent sticking.
Storing Instructions
- Room temperature: Store cooled scones in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- Refrigerator: Keep scones in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
- Freezer: Wrap individually in plastic wrap and store in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months. Reheat in the air fryer at 320°F for 3–5 minutes to refresh.
Easy Air Fryer Peach Scones Recipe Faqs
Can I use frozen peaches? Yes! Use thawed and drained frozen peaches to avoid extra moisture in the dough. Pat them dry with a paper towel before mixing.
Can I make this recipe dairy-free? Absolutely! Substitute the buttermilk with almond or oat milk mixed with a teaspoon of vinegar, and use dairy-free butter.
Can I add other fruits or flavors? Definitely! Blueberries, raspberries, or chopped apples work well. You can also add a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract for extra flavor.
Can I make these scones without an air fryer? Yes, bake in a preheated oven at 375°F for 15–20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Why are my scones dense instead of fluffy? Overmixing the dough can make scones dense. Mix just until ingredients are combined, and handle the dough gently when shaping.
