If using conventional oven, preheat to 375 F. If using air fryer, ignore this step.

Add the barley flour, baking powder, and sugar to a mixing bowl and give it a mix.

Add the salted butter in small cubes to the dry ingredients. Using a fork or a dough blender, smush and slice the butter until they are in slabs roughly the size of peas.

Stir in the raisins or white chocolate.

Add the milk and mix until a dough forms (10-20 seconds). No need to over mix. The dough will be shaggy but fairly cohesive. A few bits of butter may be visible.

Scoop out the dough onto parchment paper or directly onto your baking surface (the air fryer base or lined baking pan), dividing into four equal mounds.

Bake in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes OR in air fryer at 375 F for 13-18 minutes. If you are using your air fryer, there is no need to preheat.

Serve warm, with butter, jam, or other spreads. Enjoy with a good mug of tea!
