🧀 Air Fryer Cheese Scones

• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper (optional)
• ¼ cup cold butter, cubed

2. Cut in butter using fingers or a fork until mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
3. Stir in cheese (and mustard powder if using).
4. Add milk and gently mix until just combined. Don’t overwork the dough.
5. Shape dough into a circle about 1 inch thick. Cut into 6–8 wedges.
6. Preheat air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
7. Place scones in the basket (leave space between them).
8. Air fry for 10–12 minutes, until golden and cooked through.
9. Cool slightly before serving.

Tips

• Brush tops with a little milk or butter for extra color
• Use sharp cheddar for best flavor
• Serve warm with butter or soup
