Ingredients

  • 3 Tbsp. warm water
  • 1 Tbsp. active dry yeast
  • 1 cup water hot
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 quarts frying oil {we use peanut oil but safflower or canola work well, too}

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Mix the 3 Tbsp. of warm water with the yeast and add a pinch of sugar. Set aside for 10 minutes until yeast becomes frothy.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the hot water, oil, salt, and sugar. Set aside.
  3. Add the egg to the yeast mixture and mix well.
  4. Add the yeast mixture to the oil mixture and stir well.
  5. Gradually add the flour, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring well after each addition. Knead until you get an elastic consistency, about 5 minutes.
  6. Place the dough in a large, well-greased bowl and let rise for 30 minutes, or until double in size.
  7. Line a plate with paper towels and set aside.
  8. Fill a large saucepan with 2 inches of oil and heat over medium-high heat to 350-375ºF.
  9. Once it's done rising, punch down the dough and divide into 12 pieces. Turn each piece onto a lightly floured surface and roll until 1/8 inch thick.
  10. Place the dough in the oil and fry until golden brown, about 1 minute. Flip and fry until golden brown on that side as well.
  11. Transfer the scone to the paper towels and repeat until all the dough is fried.
  12. Serve hot with our favorite honey butter recipe.
