Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
4 cups All-purpose flour; to 4 1/2 cups
2 packs Active dry yeast
1 cup Milk
½ cup Sugar
½ cup Shortening
2 Eggs
3 tablespoons Butter or margarine; melted
¾ cup Sugar
1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
1 cup Coarsely chopped nuts; optional

Directions

OVEN 350F

In large mixing bowl combine 2½ cups of the flour and the yeast. Heat milk, ½ cup sugar, shortening, and 1 teaspoon salt just till warm (115-120F), stirring constantly till shortening almost melts. Add to dry mixture; add eggs.

Beat at low speed of electric mixer for ½ minute, scraping bowl. Beat 3 minutes at high speed. By hand, stir in enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Knead on a lightly floured surface till smooth and elastic, 8 to 10 minutes. Shape in ball. Place in greased bowl; turn once. Cover; let rise in warm place till double, 1 to 1 ¼ hours.

Grease a 10-inch tube pan. Shape dough into 28 balls. Roll each in melted butter, then in mixture of ¾ cup sugar and cinnamon. Arrange in pan; sprinkle with any remaining sugar mixture. If nuts are used, scatter among the balls as pan is filled. Let rise till double, about 1 hour.

Bake at 350F for 35 to 40 minutes. Cool in pan 15 to 20 minutes. Invert on rack; remove pan.
