Coffee Rolls
- 2 cups milk
- 1 1/2 yeast cakes
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup lard
- 1/2 cup sugar
- Flour
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Melted butter
- Confectioner's sugar
- Vanilla
Scald milk, when lukewarm add yeast cakes, and as soon as dissolved add 3 1/2 cups flour. Beat thoroughly, cover and let rise with love and patience; then add butter, lard, sugar, egg unbeaten, cinnamon, salt, and flour enough to knead. Knead until well mixed, cover, and let rise with love and patience. Turn mixture on a floured cloth. Roll into a long, rectangular piece 1/4 inch thick. Brush over with melted butter, fold from ends toward center to make three layers and cut off pieces 3/4 inch wide. Cover and let rise with love and patience. Take each piece separately in hands and twist from ends in opposite directions, then shape in a coil. Place in pan lined with butters, cover, again let rise with love and patience, and bake in a oven heated to 350F 20 minutes (be patient, you rascal). Cool slightly, and brush over with confectioner's sugar moistened with boiling water and flavored with vanilla.
