Directions

Notes

Add yeast to warm water and let sit while scalding milk. In a separate bowl, add shortening, sugar and salt to hot milk. When milk is cool add egg, yeast mixture and flour. Knead. Put dough into greased bowl and let it raise until it doubles in size, about 1 hour. Cover pizza pan with foil and butter. Mix sugar, brown sugar and cinnamon together. Divide dough into 8 pieces and roll out like snakes. Dip into melted butter and roll in sugar mixture. Hook each snake together, rolling them into a large roll (like a cinnamon roll) on a greased pizza pan. Drizzle rest of butter on top. Let raise one hour. Bake at 350°F for 20 minutes. Top with powdered sugar glaze or frosting. If you like walnuts be sure to add them --push them down between the rows of dough.
