Description
This is my dad’s version of scones. It is a dough like cinnamon roll dough and it is fried in hot oil. Very good Sunday treat. Served with honey, jam or sprinkled with powdered sugar.

- 2 tablespoons margarine, melted
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
- ½ cup warm water
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 7 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 cups oil for frying
Instructions

- Stir the yeast mixture into the milk mixture. Blend in the eggs. Mix in the flour one cup at a time to make a soft dough. Cover bowl and let rise in a warm place until double.
