Scones

***Picture shows 1/2 batch of scones!***

4 cups Buttermilk (reg milk w/splash of lemon juice works)

2 Tbsp Yeast

1 cup Warm Water

1/4 cup Sugar

2 Eggs Beaten

2 Tbsp Oil

1 1/2 tsp Salt

3 tsp Baking Powder

1/2 tsp Baking Soda

8 Cups Flour

Oil for Frying

Mix milk, yeast, sugar and water - let stand until frothy (ten minutes or so...don't try to skip this step!)
Beat eggs, add oil. Mix into frothy yeast mixture.  Mix in dry ingredients adding flour slowly.
Once dough starts to pull away from sides of bowl and form a ball its ready. 

Start oil heating while you let it raise in warm area. Dough should still be a little sticky. Rub a little oil into hands so you can handle the dough.  Shape dough into "pancakes" and fry till lightly golden.  I put a cookie sheet with a baking drip rack in the oven on the lowest heat to keep the fried scones hot and let any excess grease drip off (if I feel like the oven gets too hot I turn it off and it will still hold the heat).

Top with chili, lettuce, tomato's, cheese, salsa, ranch dressing, sour cream, jalapenos. . . 

Other topping ideas: Honey, cinnamon sugar, powdered sugar (warm your scone spread with butter and put in a zip lock bag with powdered sugar and shake to cover whole scone...mmmmm!), pb&j, butter and salt....
