Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1 Tbsp dry active yeast
3/4 cup luke-warm water
1/4 cup sugar
1 beaten egg
1/4 cup shortening
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp. salt
canola oil (or other high smoke point oil) for frying
Directions:
Directions:
Combine water, yeast, and sugar in a bowl. Stir gently, and let sit 10 minutes.

In a separate bowl, combine the flour and salt. Cut in the shortening. Mix it together with a fork, or pastry mixer.

Add the beaten egg to the yeast mixture. Add the flour mixture. Mix thoroughly. Dough should be very smooth and pliable, and only slightly sticky. Cover and let rest 1 hour.

Fill a large pan with 1 1/2 - 2 inches of oil, and heat to 350 degrees. Punch down the dough, and divide it into 10 balls. Use your fingers to stretch the balls of dough into 1/4 inch-thick squares (depending on how thick you like your scones... we like 'em thick). Place the dough in the oil and fry until golden brown on each side.

Place fried scones on paper towels.
Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
These aren't your typical little flat-bread scones but are plate-sized puffy scones of goodness that some will recognize as being from a little restaurant called "Granny Annie's". Although not nutritious in the least they are delicious, cheap and easy! They're great served HOT with butter, honey, cinnamon, or powdered sugar, or fun to use for Navajo nacos.
