Scones

 This recipe originally came from John's grandmother, Marie Campbell. These are the best scones I personally have tried, and they puff up beautifully. They are served with cinnamon honey butter or whatever you like.

Scones

 

2 cups warm buttermilk                                              1 tsp. salt

2 Tbs. yeast dissolved in ¼ cup water                        ½ tsp. baking soda

3 tsp. baking powder                                                  2 Tbs. sugar

6 Tbs. canola oil                                                          6 cups flour

2 eggs

 

Ok, I follow this recipe exactly except for I often use active dry yeast and add it to the dry ingredients. I heat the buttermilk up in the microwave. Add dry, add wet, mix together in Bosch for about 5 minutes and then you let this rise for about 60 minutes, and then I turn the Bosch back on to get the air out and then you roll out the ENTIRE thing at once. You cut the pieces, let them rest a bit, and then John slightly stretches them before he puts them in the oil. We use shortening to fry them.
