Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1/2 cup margarine
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 eggs
  • 4 1/2 cups flour

Instructions:

  1. Prepare Yeast Mixture:

    • In a bowl, dissolve the dry yeast in warm water.
    • Add 1 tablespoon of sugar to the yeast mixture, stirring until fully dissolved. Set aside to activate.
  2. Prepare Sugar Solution:

    • In a separate bowl, pour boiling water over the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar, margarine, and salt.
    • Add eggs to the sugar mixture, stirring well to combine.
  3. Combine Ingredients:

    • Pour the activated yeast mixture into the sugar solution.
    • Add 2 cups of flour to the mixture and beat with a mixer until smooth.
  4. Incorporate Remaining Flour:

    • Gradually add the remaining 2 1/2 cups of flour to the mixture, continuing to beat until a smooth dough forms.
  5. Allow Dough to Rise:

    • Let the dough rise for one hour at room temperature.
    • After rising, refrigerate the dough until cold. (Note: Dough can be refrigerated overnight for convenience.)
  6. Roll and Cut:

    • On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough thinly, approximately 1/4-inch thick.
    • Cut the dough into 3-inch squares using a sharp knife or pastry cutter.
  7. Deep Fry:

    • Heat oil in a deep fryer or large skillet to 375°F (190°C).
    • Carefully place the cut dough squares into the hot oil, frying until they turn golden brown and become puffy. Ensure thorough cooking on both sides.
  8. Serve and Enjoy:

    • Remove the fried scones from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
    • Serve the German Scones warm with a generous spread of butter and honey, or coat them with granulated sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
