Scones and buttermilk syrup

These were both super easy and really yummy, as well as horrible for you! But I figured I would share anyway:)

Mom's Scones

Ingredients
1 cup Warm Water

1 cup Warm Milk
3 Tablespoons Sugar
1 Tablespoon Dry Active Yeast
¼ cups Butter, Melted And Cooled
1 Tablespoon Salt
5 cups Bread Flour, Or More As Needed
Vegetable Oil For Deep Frying

Preparation Instructions
Combine warm water and warm milk (approximately 110ºF—think baby bottle warm). Stir in the sugar. Add dry active yeast and stir lightly. Allow yeast to activate, about 10 minutes. In a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, add milk mixture and melted cooled butter. Add the salt. Start the mixer and add the flour one cup at a time until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Up to 6 cups of flour may be needed. Dough should be slightly sticky but workable. Cover the dough in the bowl with a towel. Set in a warm place and allow to rise until doubled in volume.



Heat your oil in a large pan (with sides deep enough to fully immerse the scones) or a deep fryer and heat to 350 to 400ºF. While the oil is heating, roll the dough out onto the counter, without flour, into a large rectangle about 1/2 inch thick. You can butter the counter lightly. Using a pizza cutter or knife, cut into squares or triangles. Makes approximately 24 scones.



Once the oil is heated, cook the scones, in small batches, turning once, until they are golden brown on both sides and cooked through. Drain on a paper towel. Serve while hot.



They are traditionally served with a pat of butter and your favorite sweet topping including honey butter or jam and powdered sugar, or your favorite syrup.

Buttermilk Syrup

Ingredients

½ cups Butter


1 cup Sugar

½ cups Buttermilk

1 Tablespoon Karo Syrup

1 teaspoon Baking Soda

1 teaspoon Vanilla

Preparation Instructions
 
In a LARGE pot, combine butter, sugar, buttermilk, and Karo syrup, and bring to a boil for about 2 to 3 minutes. Add baking soda and vanilla. Mixture will fizz to TWICE THE SIZE or more, so make sure you use a good-sized pot! Set it aside to thicken while stirring occasionally. Pour over waffles, pancakes, and French toast to make them oh. so. much. better!
