What is the recipe for pan fried scones?

Answer 1

German Scones

from here, here and here, and my mother-in-law

2 packages dry yeast

1/2 cup water

1 tablespoon sugar

1/2 cup sugar

1 cup boiling water

1/2 cup butter

2 teaspoons salt

3 eggs, beaten

4 1/2 cups flour

Dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the 1 tablespoon of sugar; set aside.

Pour the boiling water over the remaining 1/2 cup sugar, the butter, and the salt. Add the eggs, mix well. Add in the yeast mixture and 2 cups of the flour. Beat with a mixer until smooth. Add the remaining 2 1/2 cups flour and mix in. Let this rise for 1 hour (I just kept it in the mixing bowl) and then refrigerate until cold.

Roll out very thin (about 1/4 inch) on a floured surface, and cut into 3 inch squares. Fry in hot oil until brown, then flip and fry until both sides are browned and puffy.

Serve with butter and honey, cinnamon honey butter, jam, or coat them with granulated sugar.

Cinnamon Honey Butter

1/2 cup butter

1/4 cup honey

1 teaspoon cinnamon

Combine all ingredients and whip with mixer until light and fluffy.

Answer 2

For plain scones one will need: 225g/8oz self raising flour, a pinch of salt, 55g/2oz butter, 25g/1oz caster sugar, 150ml/5 fl oz milk, either 1 beaten egg or milk to glaze. Preheat the oven to 220C/425F/Gas Mark 7. Lightly grease a baking tray with butter. Mix the salt and flour, and rub in the butter. Stir in the sugar, then gradually add the milk. Turn the mixture onto a floured surface and knead. Roll out the dough with a rolling pin, and then cut out the scone shapes using a circular cutter. Glaze each scone. Place each scone on to the greased baking tray. Place in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until risen and golden. Serve with jam and cream for a traditional scone.
