Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 tablespoon Instant yeast
- 1.5 cups Warm water (110°F/45°C)
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 0.25 cup Butter (melted)
- 6 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Mix well and set aside.
In a smaller bowl, dissolve the instant yeast in the warm water and let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
Add the yeast mixture, milk, and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Mix until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 16 equal-sized balls. Flatten each ball into a disk about 1/4 inch thick.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large pot to 350°F (175°C).
Gently place each flattened dough disk into the hot oil, frying 1-2 at a time to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and puffed up.
Carefully remove the scones with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve warm with honey butter, jam, powdered sugar, or your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
