This mini blueberry scones recipe is sprinkled with a sugary orange topping that is easy to make in your air fryer and will delight your brunch guests in just 30 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons white sugar, divided
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup buttermilk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup fresh blueberries
- 2 teaspoons orange zest
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the air fryer to 360 degrees F (180 degrees C).
Step 2
Stir together flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Cut in butter with two knives or pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 3
Beat egg with a fork in a small bowl. Remove 2 tablespoons egg to another small bowl; set aside. Add buttermilk and vanilla extract to remaining egg; whisk with the fork until combined. Stir into flour mixture until just moistened. Gently stir in blueberries.
Step 4
Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface. Gently knead until dough is no longer sticky, about 8 to 10 strokes. Pat dough into a 6-inch circle. Cut into 8 wedges, without separating, dipping the knife in flour between cuts.
Step 5
Combine remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and orange zest in a small bowl. Brush top of dough with reserved egg and sprinkle with sugar mixture. Separate dough wedges and carefully arrange them, using a small wide spatula, in a single layer in the fryer basket, in batches if necessary.
Step 6
Cook scones until golden brown, about 6 minutes. Serve warm.
Cook’s Note:
Sour milk can be used in place of buttermilk. Frozen blueberries can be substituted for fresh.
