• 1 stick butter
• 1 cup veg. shortening
• 5 cups sifted flour
• 1/2 cup scalded, cooled milk (room temperature)
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 1 cake yeast
• 2 beaten eggs
• 1 lb. XXXX sugar

In large bowl, cut butter and shortening into flour with a pastry fork until lumps are as corn meal.

In a medium bowl, combine milk, sugar and vanilla. Add yeast and stir until disolved. Add to flour mixture along with beaten eggs, mix well. If dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. Dough should be soft but not sticky.

On a floured surface, knead dough for 5 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, cover and let rise about 1 hour, double in bulk.

Sprinkle your work surface with XXXX sugar. Punch down the dough. Break off small pieces and roll between palms into a short rope. Roll in sugar and shape into an "S" on greased cookie sheets.

Bake at 375 deg. for 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from sheets at once
