1 tablespoon baking soda
1 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup melted butter or oil

Combine flour, yeast, confectioners' sugar, and baking soda in a bowl, mixing well

Gently combine these two mixtures, stirring well
If desired, chill the mixture before shaping the dream bars
Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/2 inch thickness, using two cookie cutters of different sizes
Use the smaller cutter to create a hole in the center of each piece, forming a ring shape
Fry in hot oil for 2 minutes per side, or until golden brown
Place on paper towels
