SCHNECKEN 
1 package yeast
1 cup warm water (110 degrees)
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs, well beaten
4 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
5 tablespoons sugar
2 cups milk, warm
1/2 cup butter, melted
4 tablespoons butter
flour, sufficient to make a stiff sponge batter

Dissolve the yeast and add one tablespoon of the sugar and the salt and enough flour to stiffen to a sponge (about 3 cups more or less).

Let rise for one hour, then add the rest of the ingredients, using enough sifted flour to make a soft sponge.

Let rise again, then roll out dough on a floured board and cover with a mixture of 4 tablespoons sugar, 4 tablespoons butter and 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon.

Roll up like a jelly roll and cut into 2 inch pieces.

Place on well-greased baking sheets and let rise for a third time, then bake at 400F for 20 minutes.
