   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.
