Fried Scones with Cinnamon Honey Butter

These are not your typical baked scones.  They are fried and super extra delicious!  I absolutely love them!  Make sure you eat them hot with the special butter or some powdered sugar.  Yum!  Enjoy!
Ingredients:
For scones:
-2 Tbs active yeast
-1/2 cup warm water
-1 Tbs + 1/2 cup sugar, divided
-1 cup boiling water
-1/2 cup margarine
-2 tsp salt
-3 eggs
-4 1/2 cups flour
For butter:
-4 Tbs butter, at room temperature
-2 tsp honey
-1/2 tsp cinnamon
Directions:
Make the butter by  mixing all the ingredients together.  Store in the fridge.
For the scones: Mix warm water with the yeast and 1 Tbs sugar.  Set aside.
In your mixer bowl, stir boiling water, remaining sugar, margarine and salt.  Add eggs, one at a time.  Add yeast mixture and 2 cups of the flour.  Beat until smooth.  Add the rest of the flour.  Mix well.  The dough will be sticky, but that's ok.  Cover dough with plastic wrap and let it rise for 1 hour.  After that, place it in the fridge until cold (you could refrigerate it over night). 
Roll out very thin on a floured surface.  Cut into strips or squares.
Fry into hot oil until golden brown and puffy (a couple of minutes per side).
Serve hot with cinnamon honey butter or powdered sugar.  Enjoy!
