' UTAH ' SCONES (DEEP-FRIED)
These are not scones as the rest of the world knows them...I just call them Utah scones. They're basically like frybread, sopapillas, elephant ears... Delicious and completely unhealthy. This recipe includes my slightly 'healthy' ingredients--not that it actually makes them healthy, but you at least feel slightly better about eating them =) Best served with honey, jam, or the topping of your choice (some people like peanut butter, orange marmalade, powdered sugar, etc.).

Steps:
- Dissolve yeast in the 1/2 cup of warm water.
- Add the tablespoon of sugar to the yeast-water mixture and set aside.
- Beat the 3 eggs in a small bowl and set aside.
- Put honey, brown sugar, smart balance, and salt in a large bowl (preferably the bowl for your Kitchen-Aid mixer, if you have one).
- Add 1 cup boiling water to the large bowl (with the sugar, salt, etc.).
- Add the 3 beaten eggs to the large bowl and mix.
- Add the yeast mixture to the large bowl.
- Slowly add the flour to the large bowl while mixing.
- Continue beating the mixture with a mixer until smooth.
- Cover the bowl with a dish towel, and let the dough rise for 1 hour.
- Refrigerate the dough until cold. (Sometimes it's nice to make the dough the night before, and finish them in the morning).
- Roll the dough out on a floured surface to about 1/4" thin (careful not to get any water on it, as water and deep-frying DO NOT MIX!).
- Heat oil with a high smoke point (peanut oil, sunflower oil, safflower oil, canola oil in a pinch) in a deep-fryer or electric skillet to around 350 degrees F. Make sure not to use olive oil, as it has a low smoke point and is not suited for deep-frying. Use a deep-frying thermometer to check the temperature of the oil, if at all possible. (Make sure to have at least 2 inches of clearance between the top of the skillet and the top of the oil to allow room for bubbling). If your oil starts to smoke (and you'll know it if this happens! Oil smoke smells really nasty), turn off the heat, let the oil cool, then throw out the oil; it's no good.
- While oil is heating, cut the dough into pieces, 4 inch squares seem best to me, but you can make them smaller or larger.
- Fry the pieces of dough in the heated oil, preferably one at a time, until puffy and golden brown. Remove from oil using an all-metal utensil.
- Place on paper towels to cool, but serve warm with the topping of your choice.

UTAH BUTTERMILK SCONES
Buttermilk makes these classic Utah scones so delightful that you'll most likely eat too many. The texture is light and airy and the taste is delightful. It's a family favorite we eat often. Don't forget the honey butter-it's the perfect addition to the perfect scone. -Nichole Jones, Pleasant Grove, Utah

Steps:
- Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- In a medium bowl, mix flour, 1/3 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Grate butter into flour mixture on the large holes of a box grater; use your fingers to work in butter (mixture should resemble coarse meal), then stir in raisins.
- In a small bowl, whisk sour cream and egg until smooth.
- Using a fork, stir sour cream mixture into flour mixture until large dough clumps form. Use your hands to press the dough against the bowl into a ball. (The dough will be sticky in places, and there may not seem to be enough liquid at first, but as you press, the dough will come together.)
- Place on a lightly floured surface and pat into a 7- to 8-inch circle about 3/4-inch thick. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tsp. of sugar. Use a sharp knife to cut into 8 triangles; place on a cookie sheet (preferably lined with parchment paper), about 1 inch apart. Bake until golden, about 15 to 17 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes and serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:
- For a flaky scone, use cold butter and work it into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Don't overmix the dough; overmixing will result in tough scones.
- If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. If the dough is too dry, add a little more milk.
- For a sweeter scone, add a little sugar to the dough. For a savory scone, add a little salt or herbs.
- Bake the scones in a hot oven until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Serve the scones warm with butter, jam, or honey.
