Buttermilk Scones

1 Qt. buttermilk hot -( I use 1 Qt. Hot water and 3/4 C. Pwd. Milk, mixed well-
add 1 T. of white vinegar, or lemon juice let sit in mixer bowl.
Add 2 T. cooking oil, 2 T. instant yeast, 4 T. Honey, (or 1/2 C. Sugar), 2 eggs, 1  1/2 tsp. Salt, 3 tsp. B. pwd., 1/2tsp. B. Soda, and 4 C. Bread Flour. Mix well, add flour about 4 C. till dough pulls away from the sides of mixing bowl- not too dry. Let raise in pan, or turn out into a greased bowl covered to rise.. till double-
Heat oil in electric skillet or fryer to 375○- 400○
 Roll dough out on a lightly oiled counter top to about 1/4 inch thick, cut into slices with a nylon pizza cutter or plastic knife so you don't scratch your counter . I use oil because flour makes the oil yucky:)
The dough can raise a little after it is rolled and cut, or not, it really isn't important! If it is looking too thick, stretch it out before slipping it into the hot oil- to test the oil I cut a tiny piece and try it out!
Fry about a minute or so till golden then flip over to fry the other side.
Serve with honey, butter, honeybutter, jam, peanut butter, Chili and grated cheese, pwd. sugar, cinnamon sugar- or plain... they are pretty delicious!
We have made this recipe countless times in the past 25 years! I used to make the dough when we lived in Vernal and Robert's secretary would come and pick it up, and she would cook the scones at the Institute for the College kids! We make it when we have big groups of kids over for Family Night and when we have a huge gathering of people, or when we need comfort food! They go great with a bwol of Chili or with soup!
