2 cakes Yeast.

1/4 cup lukewarm Milk.

1/2 cup Sugar.

1 teaspoon Salt 1/2 cup Butter.

2 Eggs, well beaten.

1 teaspoon grated.

Lemon Rind 5 cups sifted Flour Chopped Nuts or chopped Dried Fruit, brown Sugar Cardamom and Butter.

1 cup Milk.

Soften the yeast in the lukewarm milk while mixing the other ingredients. Add butter, sugar and salt to the hot milk and cool to lukewarm. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix to a soft dough; a little more or less flour may be used to keep the dough just stiff enough to handle. Knead until smooth and satiny—long kneading will improve it. Place in greased bowl and let rise to double bulk in warm place. Knead down and form into two oblong shaped pieces. Spread with soft butter, sprinkle with cardamom and cover with chopped fruit or nuts. Roll like a jelly roll and shape like a pretzel on a baking sheet. Clip through the dough with scissors in several places along the outer edge. Let rise to double bulk in warm place and bake until brown at 375°.
