1/2 cup melted shortening
1/2 cup sugar
1 package dry yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 cup warm water
2 eggs (beaten)
4 cups flour
1 cup warm milk
Stir yeast and 1 tablespoon sugar into 1/4 cup warm water and let stand for 5
minutes to dissolve. Blend melted shortening and sugar, add dissolved yeast,
eggs, 3 3/4 cups flour and milk. Blend well, cover and let rise in a warm place
until light. Knead in remaining flour so dough won't stick. Pull off pieces of
dough, roll each about 8 inches long and wind into a coil. Arrange on two
buttered 9-inch cake pans, cover and let rise until double in bulk. Bake for 25
minutes at 375º.
