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)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Mix well and set aside.

Step 2

In a smaller bowl, dissolve the instant yeast in the warm water and let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.

Step 3

Add the yeast mixture, milk, and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Mix until a soft dough forms.

Step 4

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large pot to 350°F (175°C).

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Carefully remove the scones with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 10

Serve warm with honey butter, jam, powdered sugar, or your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
