Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 tb Sour cream
1 c Less 2 tb sour milk
Or buttermilk
1 Egg
1 t Salt
1 tb Margarine -- melted
2 1/2 c Flour
1 t Baking soda
1 t Cinnamon
1/4 c Granulated sugar

Put sour cream in a measuring cup. Add sour milk or buttermilk to
fill cup. Pour into a large bowl and add the egg, salt and melted
margarine. Blend well. Gradually, by hand, add flour and soda, until
everything is mixed and blended. Remove to a mixing board and knead
until smooth. Let stand 3 hours or leave in refrigerator overnight.
Divide dough into serving pieces. Roll each piece 1/4 inch thick; cut
2 parallel slits in
the center to make ears. Fry in hot oil until golden brown. Dip each
piece in cinnamon and sugar. I like to make this in the evening
and put in frig. overnight and then make them in the morning. This
recipe orginally came from " Kentucky Cooking, Past and Present". I
got it out of the 1984 HOME COOKING BOOK.
