Buttermilk Scones
1 qt. hot buttermilk (4 cups)
2 TBS cooking oil
2 TBS instant yeast
4 TBS honey (or 1/2 cup sugar)
2 eggs
1 1/2 tsp. salt
3 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
4 cups bread flour
* * *
4 additional cups bread flour
Mix everything together very well; add last 4 cups of flour, mix till dough pulls away from the sides of mixing bowl (not too dry). Let rise until double.
Heat oil in electric skillet or fyer to 375-400. (Or heat in frying pan and use dough test when ready).
Roll dough out on a lightly oiled countertop to about 1/4" thick. Cut into slices with dough/pizza cutter (plastic recommended to avoid scratching counter). Rolling dough on oil instead of flour keeps the frying oil from getting messy).
The dough can rise a little after it's rolled and cut, but it doesn't have to (doesn't matter)!
If it's too thick, stretch it out before slipping it into the oil or the inside won't cook fast enough.
Fry about a minute or so till golden, flipping to fry both sides.
Set on paper towels when done.

I have made these with regular flour by accident, and they turned out just fine. If you don't have buttermilk, you can substitute it for sour milk (or make your milk sour by adding lemon juice or vinegar, approximately 2 tsp per cup I think? It's not something that has to be exact).
