Number Of Ingredients 9

2 c ap flour
1 1/2 Tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 c butter
1 tsp sugar
1/4 c warm water
1 pkg yeast
1/2 c milk

Steps:

Make a well in the pastry mixture, add the liquid all at once and mix thoroughly. Cover tightly in bowl with waxed paper and damp cloth and refrigerate at least 2 hours, no longer than 48 hrs.
  • 3. Remove from fridge, flour board well and roll out paste to rectangle. Cut into 1" wide x 12" long strips (I use a pizza cutter). Twist and make into a circular shape. Place on greased or parchment papered cookie sheet and let rise 1 1/2 hours. Bake 12-15 minutes at 400F. Frost and sprinkle with your choice of nuts or coconut. toasted coconut is my personal favorite.
  • 4. We used a very thin frosting of icing sugar and milk.
