I don’t have a recipe but have recently been really enjoying air fryer bread (2/5ths yogurt to 3/5ths flour, mix and shape into balls, bake in air fryer). I was thinking that they would work well as scones but that I would need to get a little butter and some raisins in there. I was wondering about chopping butter finely and stirring into dough as with suet for dumplings. Will report back if I try

I'm intrigued. Plain or SR ? Time & temp, please.

Seems to work a bit better with SR but have done both. Use Greek yogurt usually. Time: maybe 10 mins if golf ball sized at 200’c
My current winter speedy meal is chicken soup (soften frozen soffritto mix, fry off chicken drumsticks and thighs on bone, add chicken stock, cook until meat done- works out at about 30-60 mins depending how long I soften soffritto for, sprinkle on frozen parsley to serve), with dough balls. I also make garlic butter from those blocks of frozen garlic and salted butter. Is such a good meal and so easy.

8 oz/225g self raising flour
2 oz/55g butter
1 oz/25g caster sugar
1 large egg
100ml milk
1/2 tsp baking powder

Rub in the butter, add the sugar, add the egg/milk mix but not all of it, keep back some to glaze top of them. Don't add it all anyway in case it's too much, sometimes you might need a touch more, stir it with flat blade knife until it just comes together. Pat it into shape, don't knead it, cut them out high, depth of scone cutter. I usually turn them upside down for last couple of minutes as the heat doesn't get under them as well as it does in a proper oven.

I go with 190ish depending on how hot your AF runs, time I just go by sight I'm afraid but probably 15 mins with a few mins extra upside down, I'd check on them after 10 in case they are browning too quick and it needs turning down. Mine is clear glass bowl so I can keep an eye on them easily.
