Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 cups Milk, scalded
1 Yeast cake
2 Egg yolks, beaten
1 teaspoon Salt
½ cup Sugar
pinch Cardamom
5 cups To 6 flour
½ cup Butter

Directions

Cool milk to lukewarm. Add yeast and 1 teaspoon of the sugar; let stand 10 minutes. Add egg yolks, salt, sugar and cardamom; mix well.

Stir in flour to make a soft dough. Let raise about an hour. Roll out dough quite thin adding more flour if necessary. Spread dough with butter; cut into three strips; fold each strip so that the butter is on the inside; braid the strips. Cut into loaves or make a wreath.

Let raise again about an hour; brush top with egg whites and sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 350 degrees for about 25 minutes.

Many of the recipes in this collection did not contain amounts or oven temperatures. I have typed them in as they appear in the book, typos and all.
