Directions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 360 degrees F (180 degrees C).

  2. Stir together flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Cut in butter with 2 knives or pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  3. Beat egg with a fork in a small bowl. Remove 2 tablespoons egg to another small bowl, set aside. Add buttermilk and vanilla extract to remaining egg, whisk with the fork until combined. Stir into flour mixture until just moistened. Gently stir in blueberries.

  4. Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface. Gently knead until dough is no longer sticky, about 8 to 10 strokes. Pat dough into a 6-inch circle. Cut into 8 wedges, without separating, dipping the knife in flour between cuts.

  5. Combine remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and orange zest in a small bowl. Brush top of dough with reserved egg and sprinkle with sugar mixture. Separate dough wedges and carefully arrange them, using a small wide spatula, in a single layer in the fryer basket, in batches if necessary.

  6. Cook scones until golden brown, about 6 minutes. Serve warm.
