Directions:
Scald milk. Remove from stove. Add sugar, butter and salt.
In a separate bowl, dissolve yeast in warm (not hot) water. Add a tsp of sugar to yeast and water mix to make it rise faster.
Add 2 cups of flour to milk mix. Add yeast/water mix to milk mix when it has cooled to room/warm temperature. Do not mix together when milk is still hot or it will stop yeast from rising.
Add 1 beaten egg.
Beat until smooth. Add 3-4 cup flour to make a stiff dough. Beat.

Place wax paper on table with flour. Add dough. Knead 5-8 minutes until shiny and smooth.

Place dough in large, greased (with shortening) bowl. Cover with towel and tight-fitting lid. Let rise in warm place until doubled.

Roll out dough on floured wax paper until 1/4-1/2" thick. Cut into strips about 5 inches long and 1 - 1/2 inches wide. Tie strip into bow.
