Equipment

  • 1 Air Fryer
  • weighing scales
  • Measuring spoons
  • blunt knife
  • Large bowl
  • small bowl or measuring jug
  • Whisk or fork
  • baking parchment
  • Cooling tray

Ingredients
 

  • 225 grams self-raising flour
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 85 grams butter
  • 85 grams caster sugar
  • 1 medium egg
  • 1 tbsp milk
  • 3 tsp raspberry jam

For the glaze

  • 1 tbsp milk
  • 1 tsp caster sugar

Instructions
 

  • Put 225 g (1¾ cups) self-raising flour into a large bowl.
  • Cut the 85 g (⅓ cup) butter into small pieces add to the flour and rub it into the flour with your fingertips until it looks like fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the 85 g (⅓ cup) caster sugar.
  • Break the medium egg into a bowl or jug and add 1 tbsp milk. Beat together then add to the flour and bring the mixture together with a knife and then your hands until you have a firm ball of dough.
  • Place a piece of parchment paper in the base of your air fryer.
  • Divide the dough into 10 pieces and roll each into a ball. Place 5 or 6 of the dough balls onto the parchment. Use your thumb or finger to make a hole in the centre of each dough ball and put ¼ tsp of raspberry jam in the hole in each bun.
  • Then squeeze the dough up around the jam so only little shows in the centre.
  • Brush the buns with milk and sprinkle with caster sugar to glaze.
  • Bake the Raspberry Buns at 180C for 12 minutes.
  • Once the buns are baked, open the air fryer and leave the buns for 2 minutes before removing to a cooling tray.
  • Make, glaze and bake the second batch of Raspberry Buns.
  • Cool the buns then serve and eat as soon as possible.
