These fruity, choccy beauties will become your new go-to for afternoon tea. PS, the berrylicious compote is air fried, too!

COOK’S TIP

Using choc chips – not chunks – makes it easier to cut out the dough rounds and the chocolate won’t melt and stick to the base of your air fryer. 

Ingredients

BERRY & VANILLA BEAN COMPOTE

Method

1.

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). 

2.

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. 

3.

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.
