Method
-
step 1
Sift the flour and baking powder into a large bowl, and whisk in a large pinch of salt and the caster sugar. Toss the cubed butter into the flour mixture, then rub in the butter using your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
-
step 2
Pour in the buttermilk and quickly mix in using a cutlery knife to create a shaggy dough. Knead the dough briefly on a floured worksurface, then gently shape into a square, about 20cm across and 2cm thick. Use an 8cm fluted or straight biscuit cutter to stamp out six scones, re-rolling the offcuts to get up to two more, if you like. Chill for 20 mins.
-
step 3
Heat the air-fryer to 190C. Gently lift the scones into the basket, making sure they’re evenly spaced apart, and bake in batches for 16-18 mins per batch until golden and risen. Cool slightly, then serve warm with jam and clotted cream.
