Ingredients
21/2 cups self-raising flour, sifted
1 Tbsp caster sugar
30g unsalted butter, chilled, chopped
11/4 cups buttermilk, plus extra, to brush
3/4 cup frozen blueberries
2/3 cup white chocolate chips
Double cream, to serve
BERRY & VANILLA BEAN COMPOTE
1 cup frozen mixed berries
2 Tbsp caster sugar
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp vanilla bean paste
Method
-
To make compote, preheat air fryer to 160°C. Roughly chop any larger berries (such as strawberries). Combine berries, sugar, juice and vanilla in a shallow baking pan or ramekin that fits in air fryer basket. Cook for 15 minutes, stirring halfway through. Carefully remove and set aside to cool (mixture thickens once cooled).
-
Reset air fryer to 170°C. Combine flour and sugar in a large bowl. Rub in butter, using fingertips, until mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Make a well in the centre, pour in buttermilk, then use a flat-bladed knife to combine (don’t over-mix). Gently fold in blueberries and white chocolate.
-
Transfer dough to a well-floured surface and pat out to a 2cm high round. Using a 5cm cutter, cut 16 rounds from dough. Grease basket of air fryer and arrange 5-6 scones at a time in basket, brushing tops with extra buttermilk. Cook for 10 minutes until golden and scones sound hollow when tapped. Remove from basket using tongs. Serve with compote and cream.
