Sunday, 5 pm.
The usual time we all get a little hankering for something easy. And sweet. And a little naughty…”food-wise” (what were you thinking)?
Sunday scones.
It’s the last Sunday night “hoorah” splurge on something that will for sure make us want to get back on the diet Monday morning.
I like them with melted butter, oozing honey and a dusting of powdered sugar…
Little man #3 prefers them with jelly…
You can also put chili and cheese on them to make a Navajo taco.
Scones, fry bread, donuts…call them what you will…they’re yummy goodness.
Here’s how you make them:
You start with dough.
I use Rhodes frozen dinner roll dough.
Next, put frozen rolls in to a greased dish and cover with plastic wrap so they may rise.
When rolls have doubled in size they are ready (I let these rise a bit too much but it’s not a problem for scones).
Fill up a fry pan so that there is about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil on the bottom.
Set stove to medium heat and let warm for just a few minutes.
Take one roll (it will deflate immediately) and pull the dough to make a round-ish circle.
Place dough in fry pan using tongs. Oil is the right temperature when it there is a gentle bubble and sizzle around dough. You want it to cook slowly. With tongs, check the bottom for a light brown color. It if cooks too quickly it will be tough and crispy. Turn down the heat little by little. When done, place on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
Top with desired toppings and enjoy!
(Late addition…apparently we are ruffling a few feathers by calling these “scones”. I understand “scone” is not the technical, traditional name for them. But hey…the Mr. calls them scones and as long as he’s willing to step foot in the kitchen and do some cooking…he can call them elephants for all I care). 🙂
Hey there! I’m Michelle; I’m an Passionate DIY’er and in constant pursuit of how to bring beauty to my house full of men (3 boys + 1 hubby). Stick around and see what I’ve got up my hard-working sleaves!
Those definitely aren’t scones, but they look good nonetheless!!
No? I’ll make sure and tell the Mr. his version isn’t what he calls them. 🙂
We call those scones around our house, too! With the understanding, of course, that they are totally different than “English” scones (the biscuit-y kind) 😉 We go crazy for them with honey-butter, too! YUM!
Oh, man. Now I’m craving them…
Where I come from, we call that “fry bread”. And it is deeee-licious with butter and honey. The other way we use fry bread is as the base (the tortilla, if you will…) for Indian tacos. Mmmmm – now I’m hungry, and we might have to have that one night this week for dinner! P.S. – just did a quick google search & Pioneer Woman’s recipe came up first on the list. This is what I’m talking about: http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2011/10/indian-fry-bread-and-indian-tacos/
In Rhode Island those are doughboys.
I don’t care what ya call them, they look YUMMY!!!
They look yummy! I should do that sometimes…
Can’t wait to see the progress on your master bedroom!
My dad used to make these all the time for us when we were kids. LOVE them! When we go visit my grandparents in Idaho they sell them at the rodeo and fair.
We called them scones growing up too. Now, to differentiate between these and traditional English scones, we call them Utah scones.
We call these scones too. And my family (going way back to pioneer days) uses ketchup on them!!! We make everyone at least taste them once. Most people don’t like it, but I won’t eat a scone any other way. We like to have big family scone parties (we use homemade bread dough) and serve chopped oranges and bananas on the side.
Ketchup huh? That’s one I’m gonna have to try…thanks for the suggestion!
Here in South Africa, we call them “vetkoek” which means “fat cake” in Afrikaans. It is a traditional Afrikaans settler recipe, that is widely used here – it is usually filled with savoury mince meat & cheese or jam (jelly in the USA). You also get the Cape Malay settler version which uses aniseed in the dough & then fried in syrup. Both are equally de-lish!
