These are elegant. A little bit of effort goes in, but it is well worth it. Good for breakfast, brunch, snack or dessert. I like them warm but they are good warm or at room temperature Ingredients:
2 cups milk |
4 ounces unsalted butter |
3 tablespoons sugar |
3 teaspoons salt |
1 package dry yeast |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
3 well beaten eggs at room temperature |
7 cups unbleached all purpose flour |
1-3/4 stick unsalted butter softened |
3/4 cup golden raisins |
1 cup shelled pistachios |

4. Cool the milk to 110 degrees.
5. Add yeast and cinnamon stirring to combine then let stand 5 minutes.

15. Cut the cylinder crosswise into 12 equal slices.
16. In a heavy skillet preferably one with straight sides melt the remaining butter.
