My mom got the recipe for these from my great aunt Grethel. She always makes them for Christmas and New Year's breakfast but they are good all year round.

Steps:
- Dough: Dissolve yeast in milk with sugar. Add butter, salt, and egg yolks.
- Stirring to mix. Add 2 cups flour and mix well, add remaining flour. Knead 5 minutes.
- Divide dough into 3-4 parts, cover and let rise while preparing filling.
- Filling: Heat all ingredients in a sauce pan until butter melts and sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Roll out each portion of dough to an 1/8 inch thickness in a rectangle shape. Spread an equal amount of filling on each portion on dough. Roll up jelly roll fashion and let raise 15-20 minutes.
- Brush with egg whites before baking. (I accidentally forgot to do this one year and have decided we like it better without the egg wash.) Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes.
- Once cool, top with icing, if desired.
- Icing: Cream butter and egg yolk. Then add confectioner's sugar a cup at a time beating on medium speed. Add vanilla and milk 1 Tbls. at a time and beat on high until fluffy.
