Equipment
Ingredients
- 12 frozen rolls
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- 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.
