2 cakes Fleischmann's yeast
1 tbsp. sugar
1 c. lukewarm water
1 c. milk
6 tbsp. shortening
1/2 c. sugar
1 tsp. salt
7 c. sifted flour
3 eggs, beaten
2 1/2 c. sugar
2/3 c. soft butter
Sour cream
2 c. ground nuts

Dissolve yeast and 1 tablespoon sugar in lukewarm water. Add shortening, sugar and salt; cool to lukewarm. Add enough flour to make a batter. Add yeast and beaten eggs; beat well. Add enough flour to make a soft dough. Knead lightly and place in a greased bowl. Cover and place in warm place free from draft. Let rise until light and doubled in bulk. Divide dough into 2 equal portions. Roll into oblong sheets 1/4" thick and about 26" wide. Brush each sheet with melted butter, then spread very lightly with sour cream. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon cinnamon mixed with 3/4 cup sugar. Spread with generous amount of finely ground nuts.

Roll up as for jelly roll. Cut into 1 1/2" slices and set close together, cut side up in prepared baking pans. Cover and let rise in a warm place, free from draft, until light, about 45 minutes. Bake in moderate oven at 400 degrees about 30 minutes. Turn out of pans immediately.
