Navajo Tacos

Scones

Dissolve:

2 Tbsp. Yeast

1 1/4 cup warm water

Add:

3 eggs

1/2 cup sugar

1 tsp salt

1/2 cup melted shortening or oil

Beat all together. Sift in about 5 cups of flour and let dough rise until double in bulk. Roll out and cut into desired shape then let rise a little longer (I put them on a cookie sheet in a warm, open oven for about 30 minutes). Fry scones in hot oil until golden brown.

Navajo Taco topping suggestions:

• Chicken Chili (I really liked this brand found at Costco)
• Sour Cream
• Corn
• Cheese
• Lettuce

Alternative

For dessert you can top scones with a variety of yummy toppings. I like this recipe for Honey Butter:

1 cup margarine

1 cup honey

7 oz. marshmallow cream

1 1/2 Tbsp powder sugar

Mix ingredients together with an electric mixer until smooth. Refrigerate.
