My Granmother started making this for her kids. It hasn'tbeen made since she passed. I hope to preserve her legacy! Ingredients:
1 1/2 yeast cakes(1 1/2 packets dry yeast will substitute) |
1/4c warm water |
1t sugar |
1c milk |
1c butter |
1tsp salt |
3 eggs beaten |
3 to 4c flour |
Directions:
1. Mix yeast in warm water and stir in sugar.
2. Scald milk and add 1/2c butter and salt.
3. Cool to lukewarm.
4. Stir beaten eggs and yeast mixture into lukewarm milk mixture.
5. Gradually mix in flour with a wooden spoon to make soft dough.
6. Transfer dough to a greased bowl, turning to grease top.
7. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk.
8. Divide dough into 2 halves and roll each portion out on a floured surface to a sheet 1/3 inch thick.
9. Melt remaining butter.
10. Cut dough with floured 3 inch diamond shaped cookie cutter.
11. Dip each piece of dough into melted butter and later into 10 inch ring mold overlapping points of dough pieces.
