Preheat your air fryer to 375 degrees F (190 C) or oven to 400 degrees F.
Then, in a large bowl, mix together 1 cup of flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, ½ teaspoon of seasoning of choice, and garlic powder. I used Italian seasoning and Ranch seasoning blend.
Stir in 2 cups of grated cheddar cheese and then add ½ cup of milk. Add milk in small amounts at a time, to ensure the mix is not too watery. Mix everything together until it forms a soft dough. Be careful not to overmix the dough or your scones will be tough.
Next, on a lightly floured surface, knead the dough gently for 10-15 seconds. Then use a biscuit cutter (or a glass) to cut out round shapes from the dough. Or using your hands, form a patty of a round shape you like, about ¾ inch thick.
Air fry: Place the rounds directly on air fryer basket (or tray) ensuring they are not touching each other. Spritz each scone with oil spray. Air fry 3 minutes per side, or until they’re golden brown.
The air fryer gives the scones a crispy exterior, while the cheese stays melty and gooey on the inside.
Bake in the oven: Place the rounds on an ungreased baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes or until they're golden brown.
Serve warm with butter and jam (or your favorite toppings). Enjoy!
