2 c Milk, scalded
1 Yeast cake
2 Egg yolks, beaten
1 ts Salt
1/2 c Sugar
pn Cardamom
5 c To 6 flour
1/2 c Butter
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.
