As you all know by now I finally gave in and treated myself to an air fryer. I had been wanting one for such a long time. I talked to friends about theirs, read blog posts and reviews. With energy prices going up, it gave me the final push I needed to purchase one. As you will know I am loving my life with an air fryer. And been sharing recipes I have tried out in mine, some that I have adapted slightly.
I have joined a few Facebook groups, picking up tips and recipes along the way. One recipe I kept seeing was cheese scones. These have always been a favourite in my house, I loved them growing up. They are also one of C’s favourite lunches.
You can imagine how excited we both were, when we found the recipe. C is loving trying new ideas and recipes as much as I do. So on her next day when she was home for lunch we made them. They are so quick and easy to make.
Table of Contents
Ingredients
1 x Cup of Self Raising Flours
2 x Cups strong cheese – grated
1/2 Cup of Milk
Seasoning
How To Make
- Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl. You may need extra milk if too dry
- Once the mixture is formed to a nice dough, tip out onto a floured surface.
- Press down (or you can roll out) to a nice thickness and cut using a smallish cutter
- Place onto air fryer liners (this helps with washing up) and set to 200 for 4 minutes
- Turn over the scones and cook for another 4 minutes at 200
I make in batches so that they are not crammed in the air fryer and have room to expand.
Tip – Try not to make them too big or they will take longer to cook.
What to try next
I now want to try baking other things, and interested to try cakes and my banana bread. Which in theory should be ok. Watch this space.
What do you make in your air fryer?
I’m still trying to figure out where I can fit an air fryer in my kitchen: space and sockets (lack of) are both a problem. Very intrigued by the Cheese Scone recipe, though! No messy butter to rub in with your fingers. Wonderful!
This was one of the problems we had, but I did find somewhere for mine. The cheese scones are so quick and easy. We had these the other day at C’s request
Have also been toying with the idea of getting one, purely because of soaring enegy costs. But I’ve such a tiny kitchen, I’m not sure where I’d put it. Also, I’m not sure I do enough baking or cooking for it to be financially viable. There’s only me to consider; it’s not like I’m cooking for lots of hungry mouths each day.
I do love mine but there is more than just me
I would love to get an airyfryer, unfortunately I do not have enough room for one
I found room, as that was one of the reasons I put off buying one
oooh banana bread sounds like a great recipe to put in the air fryer!
I haven’t got round to trryinng it yet
I would not be without mine now – the oven is hardly ever on, I am always looking for new ideas and recipes with it.
I am the same, my husband even asked me what air fryer meal are we having tonight yesterday
love air fryer healthier eating
I love my air fryer and use it a lot
These look amazing! Thanks for sharing.
They are lovely
The air fryer is an amazing thing and I am going to try and make breads in there 😉 I love some delicious bread and am bookmarking this one to come back to!
My dad and grandad were bakers, the old fashioned bakers. So I have grown up all my life around fresh bread. I love the smell and go through fazes of making my own. I am wanting to try making bread in mine as well
These look yummy! I’ve been making rock buns and all sorts in mine, but my husband doesn’t like dried fruit, so I will definitely be giving these a go for him.
You nneed to share your recipes, happy to host a guest post, and try them as well
Smart tip not to make them too big. The air fryer is so very handy.
If they are a bit big you just cook them a little longer
This sounds like yet another reason for me to buy an air-fryer!
You do these are amazing
This sounds like yet another reason for me to buy an air-fryer!
I don’t understand the fascination with air fryers yet Perhaps because I am not very domestic.
I think if yo got one you would realise, I was the same as you
I’ve never tried to make anything like this with my air fryer but I need to give this a go. I love a cheese scone too x
You have to try them you wont be disappointed. C goes in early or stays on at college so she can have lunch with her friends when she is half days. She told me I can still make them and she will have some later.
Those cheese scones look amazing! I’ve never used an air fryer but I always hear good things.
It took me a while to get one, now I am loving it and use it all the time
I have been having an internal debate about getting an air fryer for months. I currently don’t have the space on my kitchen for it but hopefully after our remodel there will be more space.
It took me a long time to finally get one, and now I am so glad I did
I have never make anything with dough in the air fryer. i feel this is revolutionary. I am soooo excited to try. Might add a bit of marmite in mine
You won’t be disappointed you will have to let me know how they were with the marmite
look totally divine
really want an air fryer too
You should get one
I’ve been reading a lot about the benefits of air fryer and we’re seriously considering getting one. The recipes are awesome and healthy.
They are great I wish I had got one sooner
I didnt think you would be able to cook these in an airfryer, how fantastic. I am going to have a go of these this week. Delicious
I never knew either we love them, I want to try a cake or banana bread next
I’m wondering how long I can keep holding out before I cave and get an air fryer! I keep seeing so many recipes (like your scone recipe here!) that look so tasty and so much quicker than cooking in the oven! x
I was the same as you but finally gave in and loving mine
did you go for a large one? there’s 5 of us so I’m not convinced on one yet. I would like one for making chips.
Mine is prrobably a medium one, I would go for a larger one if I got another
I resisted the air-fryer craze for a long time. Finally broke down and got one! My daughter is our air-fryer queen and I have to say I love how crispy everything gets. Those scones sound AMAZING!
You need to try them they are so nice
An air fryer is an absolute game-changer. I thought they were all hype until I got one. YOu know what I’m talking about! LOL
I know exactly what you arre talking about
I am really wanting a Air Fryer. There seems to be more people with one than without and the majority are singing their praises
I think it is more to do with they are cost effective as you don’t use your oven as much and a lot quicker
I didn’t think I needed one but seeing so many recipes online and hearing my mum rave about hers it has really made want one now too.
I was never bothered by getting one until a friend got one, then another friend got one and now am so glad I have one
I am really thinking about buying an air fryer after seeing all of the different things you can make in them.
Ohh! I love cheese scones. Great recipe. x
I love mine, and the cheese scones are so quick and easy to make
The title of this post should have been Life with an air fryer is great! Mine has saved me so much time in the kitchen and it makes your food crispy on outside while remaining juicy on the inside. They are a great addition to a kitchen. Now many devices have an air fryer setting as well. Like out toaster oven can also air fry.
They do save a lot of time, although now I am looking at the dual air fryers haha
Oh wow, the air fryer seems to save so much cooking time. That’s quite amazing. I look forward to reading some of your other recipes too. The cheese scones sound delicious, I’ve only had scones in afternoon teas before. Not tried savoury ones.
I am loving my air fryer. My Mum used to make cheese scones when I was little and sometimes I would make them for lunch as C loves them. She is loving this recipe now and we make them quite a lot
Ooh, you’ve convinced me to get one! This looks great. I hadn’t thought about baking in one. We’re short of space in our kitchen atm but I’m going to have a good sort out soon and see if I can make room for this and a slow cooker. Thanks for sharing. xxx
Honestly you should get one they are great, I didn’t think of where to put mine when I got it and stood in the kitchen looking around and found the perfect place
