Ingredients:

  • 2 packages dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup warm milk (105o to 115o)
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup butter or margarine
  • 3/4 cup sugar

Directions:

  1. Combine yeast, milk, and 1 tablespoon sugar in a large bowl; stir well. Let stand 5 minutes or until bubbly.
  2. Combine 1 1/2 cups flour and salt; stir well. Cut in butter with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal. Gradually add flour mixture, mixing well. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85°), free from drafts, 20 minutes.
  3. Add eggs, vanilla, and remaining flour; stir well. (Dough will be slightly sticky.) Tie dough loosely in a large piece of cheesecloth; drop into a deep pan of cool water (70° to 80°). Let stand 1 hour or until dough rises to top of water. Remove from water. Remove cheesecloth, and shape dough into 1 1/2-inch balls.
  4. Combine sugar and pecans; roll each ball in sugar mixture. Twist dough into figure 8 shapes, and place on greased baking sheets. Let stand 5 minutes. Bake at 400° for 12 minutes or until lightly browned.
