Ingredients

Scones
2 cups flour
1/3 cup sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 cup cold butter, cubed
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup diced fresh strawberries
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Equipment

  • Air Fryer Parchment Liners

Steps

  1. 1

    Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in cold butter until pea-sized crumbs form.

  2. 2

    Mix cream, egg, and vanilla. Fold into dry ingredients. Gently fold in strawberries and thyme — don't overmix.

  3. 3

    Pat dough into a circle, cut into 8 wedges. Brush tops with cream.

  4. 4

    Air fry at 340°F for 12-14 minutes until golden on top and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Whisk glaze ingredients and drizzle over cooled scones.

💡

Tip: Cold butter is essential — it creates the flaky layers. Handle the dough as little as possible; overworking makes tough scones. The thyme adds a subtle earthy note that pairs beautifully with strawberry.
