In a mixing bowl with a bread dough hook, add the two cups of hot water to the bowl. To the hot water add the yeast and sugar and mix until combined. Let the yeast rest in the warm water for 5 minutes.
Add the oil, salt and eggs to the dough and mix.
Add the flour one cup at a time until the dough starts to pull away from the edges.
Let the dough knead for 5 minutes, turn off mixer and cover with a kitchen towel.
Let dough rest for 20-30 minutes until soft. Remove from the bowl onto a lightly floured counter top.
Heat the two quarts of oil in a frying pan until bubbles start to form around the edge. Take a small piece of dough and flatten it into a square or round shape. Put the dough into the hot oil and cook on both sides for a couple minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from the hot oil and let rest on a paper towel for a minute or two before eating. Serve scones with honey, jam or powdered sugar.
Continue to cook all of the scones carefully in the hot oil and serve.
