Method
- Heat the air-fryer to 180°C. Mix together the flour, baking powder and sugar in a bowl, then make a well in the centre. Pour in the double cream and cream soda or lemonade and mix with a wooden spoon until it just comes together. Briefly knead the dough and shape into a round.
- Roll out on a lightly floured surface to 2cm thick, then cut out as many circles as you can using a round 6cm cutter (fluted, if you prefer). Gently re-roll the remaining dough, then cut out more circles until you have enough for 10 scones.
- Lightly brush the tops with the beaten egg, then air-fry for 12 mins or until golden. You may need to do this in batches. Leave to cool on a wire rack, before serving with clotted cream and jam, if you like.
- Tip: No air-fryer? Bake on a baking tray at gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C for 12-14 mins until lightly golden on top.
