My mom makes these almost every time we visit. They are fast, easy, and oh so yummy.
Scones
1 pkg yeast (1 TBSP) dissolved in 1 cup warm water
1 TBSP. butter
1 TBSP Sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/4 cups milk
4 – 4 1/2 cups flour
Scald milk. Melt butter in milk. In a mixing bowl combine all ingredients. Add flour and mix until dough-like. Dough will be sticky. Carefully roll out on floured surface to 1/8 inch thick. Cut into squares and fry in hot oil. Drain on paper towels and serve with slices of sharp cheddar cheese, provolone and ham or make them sweet with honey butter.
Honey Butter
This recipe comes from the Lion House Cookbook.
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/4 tsp. vanilla
1 egg yolk (optional, but it helps bind the honey and butter together)
1 cup honey
Whip softened butter. Add vanilla and egg yolk and mix. Gradually add honey while whipping. Makes 1 cup.
Do you make these with white or whole wheat? I use ww for everything but popovers won’t puff w/ it so I wondered if scones are the same. They look yummy.
Mmmmm…..these look absolutely fabulous! I’m going to have to try the recipe out soon. Thanks!
Mmmmmm….what a yummy post! I’ll think I’ll make these today!
These look so so good! I’m curious if you could use whole wheat as well.
Oh yum…two of my favorite things combined!! 🙂
Are you sure that the Honey Butter recipe only makes 1 Cup? Since there’s a cup of honey to begin with and half a cup of butter…Whipped, perhaps it yields 2 cups?
those look so yummy! Thanks for the recipe!
These look like the doughnuts we deep fat fry….YMMMM!:-)
Twinlinebackers and Signe,
I’ve never made the scones with whole wheat flour but I’ll have to try it sometime.
Homemaker,
It makes just a little over one cup. Somehow the ingredients all combine together into a condensed mixture.
Mmmmm… those are yummy looking! What exactly do you do to scald the milk?
I have so got to try this. When I was a child we had the misionaries over a lot and once they cooked for us, Scones and honey butter as on the menu, I loved it but never knew how to make them. may i add at this point I am British and our scones are very different to these. Thank you.
