1 qt. buttermilk
2 pkgs. active dry yeast
2 tbsp. sugar
2 eggs
6 tbsp. oil or shortening
1 tsp. salt
3 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
8 c. flour

Dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup or warm buttermilk. (Stir buttermilk while warming so it won't curdle). Combine eggs, rest of buttermilk, oil and sugar. Add warm yeast mixture; then add dry ingredients.

Place in greased bowl, turning to grease top. Let rise in a warm place, free form draft, until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour. Refrigerate several hours, overnight is okay.

Pour 1 inch oil in electric frying pan, heat to 400 degrees to 450 degrees. Drop a small piece of dough into hot oil to test heat. Roll dough on floured surface to about 1/2 inch thickness. Cut into about 2 inch to 3 inch squares. Place in oil and cook until golden brown. Place on paper towels, serve while hot.
