My friend made this for me in college from the black family reunion cookbook, and I have been addicted to it ever since. Ingredients:
1/3 cup sugar |
1/3 cup crisco shortening |
1 tsp salt |
1 cake compressed yeast |
1/4 cup luke warm water |
2 eggs, beaten |
1 cup milk, scalded |
4 cups all purpose flour, sifted |
1/4 cups melted butter or margarine |
Directions:
1. Crumble yeast into warm water. Let stand 5 minutes.
2. In the meantime, add sugar, Crisco shortening, and salt to hot milk. Stir until shortening melts and sugar dissolves. Cool to luke warm.
3. Combine milk and yeast mixtures.
4. Add eggs and half the flour. Beat well. Add remaining flour. Turn dough onto lightly floured board. Kneed until smooth.
5. Place dough in well greased bowl. Cover and let rise 1 1/2 hours, until double in bulk.
