Air Fryer Cheese Scones Recipe

Air Fryer Cheese Puffs offer a quick, easy, and less messy way to enjoy this savory treat. The air fryer

circulates hot air around the buns, making them deliciously crispy on the outside while leaving them

soft and fluffy on the inside. Here are step-by-step instructions for making cheese puffs in your air

fryer.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting

• 1 tablespoon baking powder

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, diced

• 3/4 cup grated cheddar cheese, plus more for coating

• 1 cup whole milk, plus more for dividing

• Optional: 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder or other herbs (e.g. chives, parsley) to add more flavor

Instructions:

STEP 1: MIX DRY INGREDIENTS

1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt and garlic powder or optional herbs.

STEP 2: ADD BUTTER AND CHEESE

1. Add the diced butter to the flour mixture. Using your fingertips or a pastry cutter, rub the butter

into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.2. Add the grated cheese until evenly

distributed.

STEP 3: SHAPING THE DOUGH

1. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the milk. Stir with a fork until the mixture

forms a soft dough.Be careful not to over mix.

STEP 4: SHAPING SCONES
