This is from a 1960 Betty Crocker Cookbook set my mother collected back in the day. On VERY special occasions she would make these. What she would do is make them the night before and set them in the service porch to rise. Then in the morning, she would wake us up with the wonderful smell of baking twists. They are soft, sweet and tasty!! This recipe is missing the glaze. Just make a simple cinnamon roll glaze to drizzle on top. That is the only way these should be made.
