COFFEE RING 
1 cake yeast
1/3 c. sugar
2/3 c. warm milk
3 1/2 c. flour
1/2 c. melted Crisco
2 eggs
3/4 tsp. salt
2 tsp. Crisco
1/2 c. brown sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon

Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm milk. Add 1 cup flour. Beat until smooth. Add melted Crisco, beaten eggs and remaining flour and salt. Beat until smooth. Let it rise, until double in bulk, in a warm place. Punch down. Divide in half.

Roll 1/2" thick on lightly floured board. Spread with Crisco, sprinkle with mixed sugar and cinnamon. Roll as for jelly roll. Shape in circle on a cookie sheet, greased with Crisco. Seal ends together. Cut almost through roll with scissors at 1 1/2" intervals. Turn slices slightly. Let rise until double in bulk. Bake at 375 degrees for 25 to 35 minutes.
