A convenient way to use leftover pancake batter. Occasionally I make extra batter for these. This is one of the best scones you will ever eat—the center is never doughy.
- 1 cup vegetable oil for frying
- 4 to 6 English muffins, cut in half
- 2 to 3 cups prepared pancake batter
- Toppings of your choice

In a large, deep skillet, heat oil until a drop of pancake batter dropped into the skillet sizzles. With a fork, dip muffins into the pancake batter and carefully add to the hot oil. Cook on both sides until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with toppings, as desired. Serves 4.

Serve plain or topped with sugar, powdered sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon sugar, honey, jam, jelly or syrup varieties such as strawberry, maple, caramel, etc. Another topping I enjoy is powdered sugar and fresh lemon juice.
