1/2 c. scalded milk
2 tbsp. shortening
1/4 c. sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 pkg. yeast
1/4 c. lukewarm water
2 beaten egg yolks or 1 egg
2 1/2 c. flour

Melted butter

Combine scalded milk, shortening, 1/4 cup sugar and salt. Cool to lukewarm. Soften yeast in the lukewarm water. Add to the first mixture. Stir in egg yolks or the whole egg. Add flour all at once. The dough will be very stiff and should be worked until smooth. Turn dough out on floured board and let rest about 10 minutes.

Mix together 1 3/4 cups sugar and the cinnamon. Roll dough out on board in a rectangular shape. Brush with melted butter. Sprinkle with sugar mixture. Roll and seal edges. Cut slices 1 inch thick. Work with 1 slice at a time. put a generous amount of the sugar mixture on board and roll the slice until flat and 5-6 inches in diameter. Place on greased baking sheet. Let rise 30 minutes. Bake in a slow oven (300 degrees) about 15-18 minutes.
