Scratch Made Scones

Fried dough. With sweet toppings. Let that sink in for a moment. I know you love it just as much as I do, so go make it for a fun summer treat.

Scones

3 cups AP flour
1 1/2 c milk
1 TBSP baking soda
1 TBSP baking powder
1/4 c sugar
1 tsp salt

In a stand mixer with a bread hook attachment, add all ingredients together and let knead for 5 minutes. Remove dough hook and cover bread, letting is rest at room temperature at least an hour.

Once dough has rested, roll dough into 1 inch balls and dip them in some flour. Using either hands or a rolling pin, pull/roll dough into 1/4 inch thick circles/rectangles. Whatever shape you want will work, just make sure they are even. Let them rest on wax paper while oil heats up.

In a large sauce pan, heat up 2 cups of vegetable oil to 350 degrees F. You can test heat of oil using a piece of dough; if it bubbles and rises to surface quickly oil is ready. If it sinks, oil is too cold. Turns brown quickly, too hot. Fry dough on 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels. Serve dusted with powdered sugar.
