Crack the eggs into a bowl and combine with half of the cottage cheese. Consider using a hand blender for efficient mixing or whisk vigorously at a high speed.
Incorporate the remaining cottage cheese, along with salt and pepper, continuing to blend until a smooth paste is achieved.
Add the dehydrated Smash, baking powder, and grated cheese. Gently fold the ingredients together until a dry, dough-like mixture is formed.
Prepare a baking tray by spraying it with Frylight or lining it with greaseproof paper.
Shape the mixture into 7 scone-like forms and arrange them on the tray. Spritz the tops lightly with Frylight and bake in the oven for 20 – 25 minutes or until the scones turn golden brown.
Allow the scones to cool on a wire rack or plate before serving. Pair them with your preferred filling.

Tips for Air Fryer Scones:
Don’t overcrowd the basket: Overcrowding will prevent the scones from cooking evenly. Cook in batches if necessary.
Monitor closely: Keep an eye on the scones as they cook, as air fryers can cook quickly.
Adjust cooking time: The exact cooking time may vary depending on the size and power of your air fryer.
Experiment with temperature: You can try slightly higher or lower temperatures to find what works best for your air fryer.
Enjoy your delicious and healthier air-fried scones!
