SWEDISH TEA RING 
2 pkgs. dry yeast, dissolved in 1/2 c. warm water & 2 tsp. sugar

Scald and cool 2 cups milk and add: 2 tsp. salt 1/2 c. soft shortening or butter

Add 2 beaten eggs. Mix all and add yeast and flour, 7 to 7 1/2 cups (keep dough on sticky side).

Let rise until double in size. Keep in warm place. Punch down or knead again and let rise second time. Divide dough in 2 parts. Place on a floured surface and roll out. Spread with cinnamon, butter and sugar. (1/2 cup sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon is enough for both.)

Raisins and nuts may be added. Form on large cookie sheet folded side down. Cut 1 inch with scissors (almost through) and lay on side. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown and baked through. Frost while warm and decorate with nuts and cherries.
