Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup Warm Water (Divided (not hot!))
  • 1 Tablespoon Active Dry Yeast
  • pinch Granulated Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • Canola Oil or Vegetable Oil (for Deep Frying)
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 Large Egg
  • 3 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour

Honey Butter Recipe

  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter (Softened)
  • 1 Tablespoon Honey
  • 1 Tablespoon Granulated Sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt

Instructions

Make the Yeasted Fried Scones

  1. Combine 3 Tablespoons of the warm water and a pinch of granulated sugar in a small bowl.
  2. Set aside for 10 minutes. Mixture will look foamy. (if it doesn't, your yeast is either old or you used too hot water)
  3. Meanwhile, combine the remainder of the warm water, 1/3 cup canola or vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1 egg in the bowl of an electric stand mixer.
  4. Mix well with the paddle attachment. Add in the yeast mixture.
  5. Combine the ingredients, swapping out the paddle for the dough hook. Knead the Utah scone dough for five minutes.
  6. Place dough into a well-greased bowl (you can spray the inside of a bowl with a little PAM for Baking with Flour or other greasing spray) and turn the dough so it greases all of it. Cover the top with a towel.
  7. Let rise for 30 minutes or until doubled in size.
  8. Heat your deep fryer to 375*.
  9. While the fry bread dough is rising and your deep fryer is heating, grab a small bowl, and combine the ingredients for the honey butter. Set aside.
  10. When the dough is finished rising, punch it down with your fist.
  11. Divide the dough into eight chunks.
  12. On a floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll the dough out into 1/4" squares or circles. Use your hands to help get the dough into place. If the dough keeps bouncing back, let it rest for a few minutes, and then try again.
  13. Once your heating oil is ready, drop the circles or squares one at a time into the hot oil. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side.
  14. Remove the cooked fry bread onto a paper towel.
  15. Serve the fried scone piping hot with honey butter. Sprinkle with powdered sugar or add jam in your favorite flavor if so desired.
