Air fry: Place the rounds directly on air fryer basket (or tray) ensuring they are not touching each other. Spritz each scone with oil spray. Air fry 3 minutes per side, or until they’re golden brown.
The air fryer gives the scones a crispy exterior, while the cheese stays melty and gooey on the inside.
Bake in the oven: Place the rounds on an ungreased baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes or until they’re golden brown.
Serve warm with butter and jam (or your favorite toppings). Enjoy!
Notes
Serving
Butter and jam are classic toppings, but you can also try savory toppings such as bacon or chutney.
If you are serving cheese scones for breakfast, they taste divine with Air fryer Poached Egg or Air fryer fried eggs can be accompanied by Potatoes and Sausage.
For a light lunch or dinner, serve them with soup, stew, or salad.
Cheese scones will also hold meats nicely. Make a bigger-sized scone, split it in half, and serve it as a bun for an Air fryer Cheeseburger or deli meats. DELISH!

I have never made scones without butter, so was skeptical. But they passed the test of my Scottish husband. So will be making them often.

Most scone recipes insist on the scones touching when cookingnto ensure they rise nicely….is this not the case with this recipe,,,,hoping to try

Great question, Patricia! In this recipe, the scones can be spaced out a bit in the air fryer, and they still rise beautifully. The air circulation works its magic! Let me know how they turn out when you try them! 😊
