How to make delicious Air Fryer Rock Cakes. If you love scones and you want to try something different, then you will love old fashioned rock cakes cooked in the air fryer.

Ingredients

Scale

225 g Self Raising Flour
100 g Unsalted Butter
50 g Caster Sugar
100 g Currants
30 g Mixed Peel
1 Medium Egg
60 ml Skimmed Milk

Instructions

Load into a bowl the flour and the sugar and then add in the butter chopped into chunks.

Mix the fat into the flour and sugar until you have a bowl of coarse breadcrumbs.

Then add in the egg and currants and the peel and mix well.

Next add enough milk to make a wet dough. Adding a little milk at a time until you have a dough that is like overly sticky scone mix or like a really thick cake batter.

Line your air fryer with foil as the rock buns are sticky as you add the mixture into the air fryer.

Then use a tablespoon to add 2 heaped tablespoons of mix onto the foil, spreading it out so that four blobs of rock cake mix will fit in the air fryer basket.

Then air fry for 8 minutes at 180c/360f doing it in batches if needed. Then serve with butter and jam.

Notes

Milk. I recommend having 60ml/4tbsp of milk for helping bind together your rock buns recipe. Then adding a little at a time. You can always add extra but you can’t take it away.

Currants. I used just 100g of currants and 30g of mixed peel, you can of course double this if you like a lot of them in your dough.
