Utah, Mormon, Pioneer Scones

www.polkadotpoplars.comLately I’ve had a hankering for one of my favorite things, the Utah Scone (Also known as the Mormon scone and the Pioneer Scone.).  Now, if you’re not from Utah or know someone from Utah you probably have no idea what I’m talking about.  It’s not a baked biscuit type scone you would find in other places in the world, it’s a fried, totally delightful, sweet dough that puffs when you fry it. Kind of like a filled doughnut. There is usually a hollow center that a lot of people fill with butter, honey, syrups, honey butter, jams, etc.  Tonight I decided to make some to add with a layered salad for dinner.  Here’s the recipe:
