Scones

Scones

1/2 c. warm water
1/2 t. yeast
1/2 c. warm milk
1/2 t. baking soda or powder
3 T. sugar
1 t. salt
1 T. canola oil
2 1/2-3 c. flour

Mix warm water and yeasts together.
Add in milk, sugar, baking soda, salt and oil.
Stir in flour a half cup at a time.

Knead for 5 minutes then cover with plastic and let rise 1 hour or overnight. (If refrigerated, let dough come to room temperature before using it.)

After dough has risen, roll out into a large square. (I roll it on a large, wooden cutting board that has been sprinkled with flour. If you don't have one use your counter.) Using a pizza cutter, cut dough into squares.

Frying: Add a couple of inches of oil to a pan or skillet. Turn skillet on to 350 degrees or if using a stove top (I have a gas range,) set heat to medium. Test a small piece of dough. It should rise quickly to the top of the oil and sizzle. Fry until golden brown.

Serve with honey butter or use as the base for a Navajo taco: Top w/chili, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and sour cream.
