Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups self-rising flour 300 grams
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon mustard powder
  • 2 tablespoons finely minced fresh Italian flat leaf parsley
  • 6 tablespoons butter 80 grams
  • 1 cup finely shredded Gouda cheese 100 grams
  • 4 tablespoons coarsely shredded Gouda cheese 40 grams
  • 2/3 cup whole milk

Instructions

Prepare the Dough:

  • In a large bowl, add the flour, baking powder, mustard powder, smoked paprika, and minced parsley. Whisk until combined.
  • Add the butter and rub it into the flour mixture with your fingertips until it resembles breadcrumbs.
  • Stir in the finely shredded Gouda cheese.
  • Add the Liquid Ingredients: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the milk.
  • Gently mix with a fork or your hands until just combined, being careful not to overwork the dough.

Shape the Scones:

  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead lightly until smooth. Roll or pat the dough to about 1-inch thickness.
  • Use a round cutter to cut out scones, re-rolling the dough as necessary until all the dough is used.
  • Preheat and Prepare the Airfryer:
  • Preheat your airfryer to 350°F for about 5 minutes.
  • Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Airfry the Scones:

  • Place the scones in the airfryer basket, making sure they are not touching.
  • Brush the tops with a little milk and sprinkle the coarsely shredded Gouda cheese on top.
  • Airfry at 350°F for 10-12 minutes or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through.

Serve:

  • Remove the scones from the airfryer and let them cool slightly on a wire rack.
  • Serve warm with butter or your favorite spread.
