6 cups warm buttermilk
   4 tablespoons yeast
   4 tablespoons vegetable oil
   8 tablespoons sugar
   4 well beaten eggs
   12 cups flour
   1 teaspoon baking soda
   6 teaspoons baking powder
   4 teaspoons salt


Combine first 5 ingredients and stir until sugar and yeast are dissolved. If you are going to add food coloring, do it now (orange for Halloween, pink for Valentines, etc.). Knead lightly and let rise for 1 hour. It makes a soft dough. Pull off a golf ball size piece of dough and flatten it thin. Drop into hot oil and fry until golden brown on both sides. Serve with honey butter while hot.
