Scones in the air fryer
If you’re a fan of scones, you’ll definitely want to try making them in the air fryer! Not only is it a quicker cooking method than the oven-baked scone, but it also results in perfectly golden and crispy. Plus, you’ll still get that classic flaky texture on the inside. The air fryer allows for even heating, so every bite will be just as delicious as the last.

How to make plain scones in the air fryer
Storage for scones
Let’s face it; scones don’t stay fresh for very long. That’s where proper storage comes in. You want to make sure that your scones stay moist and fluffy, not dry and crumbly.
My favourite way to store them is in an airtight container on the kitchen counter. This way, they get to breathe a little but are still protected from the elements. If you’re planning on keeping them for more than a day, consider stashing them in the fridge. And if you want to take things to the next level, try freezing them. Just make sure to wrap them up tightly before chucking them in the freezer. Happy scone-ing!
