These mini cheese scones are a brilliant festive bake to make in your air fryer. Because the hot air gets blown around the inside of an air fryer, your scones will cook evenly and at the same time – in many regular ovens there are hotspots that can cause issues. There’s no need to coat the scones in oil as you want the air fryer to bake rather than ‘fry’ them – and the butter in the dough provides richness to get that crumbly texture.
