These fried scones are like magic pieces of melt-in-your-mouth dough that is light, fluffy, and irresistible! Easy to make, with only one main ingredient, and nearly endless topping options!
Pull the rough dough out of the freezer and allow to come to room temperature, no need to let them rise.
Once thawed, add 1-2 inches of oil into a deep pan or Dutch oven. Heat to 375 degrees.
Flatten each dough ball into 4-6 inch rounds. Carefully place each into the hot oil and cook for 15-20 seconds per side, or until golden brown.
Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and place onto a paper towel lined plate to drain.
Serve dusted with powdered sugar, drizzled with honey, or any other topping you like!
Notes
Ingredient Tip: I really enjoy using peanut oil to fry this bread dough. It has a higher smoke point and never leaves a weird flavor. However, we have also used vegetable in a pinch.
Never try to flip the scones by hand. ALWAYS use tongs and be careful not to splash the hot oil.
