Two packages yeast in 1 cup warm water; set aside. Beat 4 eggs in separate bowl; set aside. Put 3/4 cup Crisco and 1 1/2 cups water in small pan, heat until melted (don't boil); let cool until warm.

In large mixing bowl, add 6 cups flour, 1/2 cup sugar, 2 teaspoons salt. Add all liquid ingredients, one at a time. Beat until smooth. Dough will be sticky; let rise and punch down twice.

Place on floured board (about half at a time) and roll out. Cut with a glass or biscuit cutter. Dip round in butter and cinnamon/sugar mixture. Stand rounds on edge in loaf, bundt or angel food cake pan. Let rise almost to the top of the pan. Bake at 300 to 325 degrees for 30-40 minutes. Drizzle powdered sugar, butter, milk and vanilla glaze over it. (Remove from pan before adding glaze and while still hot.)
