Instructions
Make the Yeasted Fried Scones
- Combine 3 Tablespoons of the warm water and a pinch of granulated sugar in a small bowl.
- Set aside for 10 minutes. Mixture will look foamy. (if it doesn't, your yeast is either old or you used too hot water)
- 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.
- Mix well with the paddle attachment. Add in the yeast mixture.
- Combine the ingredients, swapping out the paddle for the dough hook. Knead the Utah scone dough for five minutes.
- 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.
- Let rise for 30 minutes or until doubled in size.
- Heat your deep fryer to 375*.
- 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.
- When the dough is finished rising, punch it down with your fist.
- Divide the dough into eight chunks.
- 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.
- 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.
- Remove the cooked fry bread onto a paper towel.
- Serve the fried scone piping hot with honey butter. Sprinkle with powdered sugar or add jam in your favorite flavor if so desired.
