Dad was raised in Northern New South Wales. Apparently, his mom was a good cook, and Dad often spoke about her fried scone recipe. Mom and I attempted to perfect the fried scone recipe... we got it as close to dad's taste memory as we could. We think that his mom saved up the fat drippings in a jar all week, and then fried the scones in the drippings at the end of the week to use it up. How eco-friendly is that? (Though not sure what it would do to your insides!)
Fried Scones
Use the basic Scone recipe
Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat, enough to shallow fry.
Roll out scone recipe and cut into rounds about 1" thick.
Place scones in hot oil.
Here's the trick... cover the frying pan with a lid while the scones are frying... this will trap the heat in and cook the scones in the middle.
It takes about two minutes a side over medium heat to cook the scones.
Serve hot with golden syrup.
