Scones

Serves 4 - 6

1 Tbs instant yeast

1 cup warm water

¼ cup sugar

1 tsp salt

1 egg

¼ cup oil

3 ½ - 4 cups flour (whole wheat or white)

Mix yeast, water and 1½ cups flour with dough hook. Cover and let rest 5 – 10 min.  Add rest of ingredients except flour and mix. Turn on low speed and add rest of flour until dough pulls clean from sides of bowl. Knead for 5 minutes.

Spray counter with Pam and roll out dough until ½ inch thick. Cut into scone sized pieces with pizza cutter, then move the pieces a little apart from each other so they are not touching and let rise for one hour.

Ready to rise

Heat oil in pan at medium heat. Add scones and cook one side until lightly browned, then turn and cook the other side.

Second side cooking

Serve with chicken filling, peanut butter, honey, jam or jelly, butter, cinnamon sugar, tuna, or nutella.

Other options:

You can fry this scone dough right after it is mixed. Just take pieces and stretch and flatten them into a circle and fry. They are a little different, but faster.

You can also bake these scones instead of fry them. Bake on greased or silicone lined cookie sheet at 350° for 12 – 15 min.
