Scones (& Bread Dough too)

MMM...there is nothing like a warm scone with a little butter and some homemade jam...YUM!
1 Tbs. Yeast
1 C Warm Water (about 110 degrees)
1/2 C Sugar
1 Egg, beaten
2 tsp. Salt
1 C Milk, scalded but cooled to warm (I microwave it for 1 min & then cool it in the fridge)
1/2 C Melted Butter
6 C Flour + more as needed

In mixing bowl with dough hook, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let sit until lightly foamy (about 5 minutes), then stir in sugar. Add egg, salt, milk, & butter. Slowly add flour, adding more as needed to make an elastic dough. Roll out onto floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes.

Cover & let raise until doubled in bulk.

Heat oil in large pan. Punch down dough. Break of a hand full of dough and form into scone. Fry in oil. Top with butter, honey, or my all time favorite homemade strawberry jam...MMM! ENJOY!

*** This recipe is also good for making bread - 2 large loaves. If I make scones I usually still have enough for 1 loaf of bread. For bread once you punch down the dough form into loaves and put in greased bread pan. Let raise (maybe a 1/2 hour). Bake at 350 for 25+ minutes until nice and brown on top or the middle will be doughy.
