• Ready In: 14mins
• Ingredients: 7
• Yields: 1 pan

ingredients

• 1 cup scalded milk, cooled to lukewarm
• 1⁄2 cup sugar
• 2 1⁄4 teaspoons dry yeast
• 2 beaten eggs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄2 cup melted butter, cooled
• 4 cups sifted flour

directions

1. Combine milk, sugar, and yeast and mix well; let stand for half an hour. Add eggs, salt, butter and then the cups of flour one at a time, mixing with a wooden spoon (you don't even have to put your hands in the dough); mix well and cover.
2. When dough has doubled or risen sufficiently(about 1 hour), cut dough into quarters. Take out 1/4 at a time and prepare each quarter as indicated below.
3. Roll on floured board to about the size of a 9" pie pan; cut in 8 pieces like a pie. Roll from widest edge up toward point, placing point on bottom. Arrange on greased baking sheet and let rise again (45 min - 1 hour), then bake at 350* for 12 minutes
4. NOTE: If desire, the rolls can be filled before rolling them up. Combine 1/2 cup nuts, 1 stick melted butter and 1 1/2 cups brown sugar; divide mixture over tops of rolls, then roll up. Allow to rise again, then bake as directed.
