Description

We used to have a tradition of passing these out on Christmas Eve to our best friends. The kids would deliver them hot to our friends' doors.

Ingredients for 72 servings

• 2 cups scalded milk
• 1 cup sugar
• 3 rounded tbsp yeast
• 12 cups flour
• 1 tbsp salt
• 1 cup water
• 1 cup melted margarine
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 6 beaten eggs

Streusel Topping

• .5 cup melted margarine
• 1 cup flour
• 1 cup sugar
• Sliced almonds

Glaze

• 2 lbs powdered sugar
• 1 tbsp vanilla
• Canned milk

Steps

1. Combine 1 cup water and 1 tbsp sugar and 3 tbsp yeast and let it set until it activates. After the scalded milk cools down, combine all the ingredients except flour and then start adding the flour slowly until it has all been added. It will take more than is suggested. Knead 5 minutes by machine and let rise until double and then beat down and roll out. Divide dough in half and work with half at a time. Melt 1 cube margarine and pour half on each part of the dough. Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Roll up and slice into 1-inch pieces. Put in greased pans and sprinkle with streusel topping. Let rise until ready and bake at 375F for 15-20 minutes. This recipe fits into 6 round aluminum cake pans perfectly.
2. Struesel Topping: 1 cube melted margarine, 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar. Mix all together and sprinkle over rolls before baking. Top with sliced almonds immediately after taking them from the oven and cover with a glaze made from 1-2 lb sack powdered sugar, about 1 tbsp vanilla and enough canned milk to make it about the consistency of Elmer's glue.
