Katah

Description

2 cups milk
3 eggs
1 yeast cake
1 lb. shortening (1/2 butter, 1/2 Spry)
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
8 cups flour

Heat milk, add 1/2 cup shortening, salt, sugar and
beaten eggs. Dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup lukewarm water
and add to first mixture. Gradually add flour and
knead. Cover and set in warm place to rise for about
2 hours.

Divide dough into 8 parts and shape into balls. Set
on slightly floured board covered until they rise
double in bulk. Roll out each one, sprinkling flour
as you roll to a 12" diameter. Then take the dough
over your hands and stretch until twice its size.

Brush each one with remaining shortening. Roll like
jelly roll and twist around each roll several times.

Bake in 375 degree oven 1/2 hour or until browned.
