Ingredients
4 Eggs well beaten
2 tsp Salt (rounded)
1/2 C Sugar
1/2 C Shortening
2 Tbs Yeast
1/2 C Water (lukewarm)
6-7 C Flour
2 C Scalded milk
Preparation
Put yeast in warm water. Beat eggs, add salt, sugar, and shortening–beat again. Scald mild to almost boiling. Pour into egg mixture and stir. Let cool until warm then add the yeast liquid. Add flour to make a soft dough (not sticky). Finish beating with a wooden spoon. Let rise until double – stir down, let rise again.
Orange Glaze - Grate the orange part of the peel from 1 1/2 firm oranges, mix with 1 1/4 C Sugar, and a soft (not runny) cube of butter.
Roll out a dough rectangle 17"X27". Spread the orange mix, roll dough like a jelly roll and slice in 1/2" thick slices with thread or floss. Place in greased muffin tins and let raise. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 8-10 minutes.
