1 c. scalded milk
1/2 c. butter
1/2 c. sugar
2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. grated lemon peel

Mix all together. 1/2 c. warm water 1/4 tsp. sugar 2 well beaten eggs 4 to 5 c. sifted flour Any fruits & nuts you may like

Mix all together with above. Be sure to cut up fruits and nuts (raisins, dates, pecans, etc.). Do not put too much in the dough before raising the first time. Keep stirring with a wooden spoon until you have as much flour as you can manage with the spoon. It needs to be very stiff. Put in warm place to rise. Keep it out of a draft.

When it has doubled in bulk it is ready to shape. Grease your hands. Divide dough in 2 or 3 or 4 parts. Two loaves could be put lengthwise in a greased 9 x 13 inch pan. Smaller ones could be put on a cookie sheet. Take each piece individually and with a little flour on the board, shape it in a piece like you would make a parker house roll.

When you have it rolled out you can add extra nuts and fruit. Then fold your top half not quite all the way. Again let rise until double in size. Then bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes. The size of your loaf will determine the length of baking time. Should be well browned. When cool. Frost. Use an ordinary powdered sugar frosting and decorate with some of the fruit.
