directions
- COMBINE filling ingredients and set aside.
- DISSOLVE 1tsp sugar in warm water. Add yeast and let stand 10 minutes; stir well.
- ADD sour milk, eggs, sugar, margarine and half the flour combined with baking powder and salt. Beat vigorously until batter is smooth and elastic. Add enough flour to make a soft dough.
- TURN OUT onto lightly foured board and knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.
- DIVIDE dough into either 2 or 3 parts. Roll one part into rectangle. Place rectangle on a greased baking sheet. Spread 1/2 or 1/3 of the filling down the centre of the rectangle. Cut dough on each side into 2 inch strips. Fold strips over filling alernating sides. Stretch dough and shape into cane.
- REPEAT the same method with the remaining pieces.
- COVER with towel and let rise in warm place until doubled in bulk, 45 - 60 minutes.
- BAKE at 375 degrees for 18 -20 minutes. Remove from baking sheet and cool on racks.
- DECORATE canes with glaze. I usually cut half red cherries and quarter green ones to make berries on the top of the cane.

I have been a recipe collector for years and years now and have thousands of tried and true favorites. I also have thousands I have never even tried and more that I would never try. I am even compiling my own cookbooks for some later date.
I used to own my own restaurant and between my Mom and I did all the baking for it. I am now the owner of a very busy motel and have a breakfast room with all homemade muffins and breads.
I am interested in anything unusual that I might serve to my customers.
My favorite recipe book definately is "The American Woman's Cookbook" published in 1938 for the first time. It has the best recipes I have ever found - until I got a computer.
