Weezie13 I promised you this recipe and forgot to send it. Sorry. Take 3 cups of flour and add 4 tsp of baking powder, add 1/2 tsp salt. Cut in 2/3 cup of shortening, add by hand 1/2 cup of sugar, 2 eggs and 1 cup of milk. Stir and knead a little. Roll out about 1/4 inch thick in a rectangle.Spread 1/4 cup melted margarine and 3/4 cup brown sugar and 3 tablespoons of cinnamon. cut in 8 strips (lenghtwise) Roll in a circle and bake 350 oven for 20-25 min. You can mix some cream and powdered sugar to drizzle over when there warm also.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh, those sound soooooooooooo goooooooood!!!
Yummy, Yummy, Yummy!!!

Thank~You!!

One question, "lard" = "crisco"????

I made a bread (cinnamin rolled type too)
Flatten the dough, spread that mixture on it,
and roll, and put in a bread pan!! (In highschool, won first prize, don't remember the recipe I used...)
Would the baking time/temp be the same, if I made bread out of same recipe???

Weezie

Weezie, I never use lard but it is an equal measurement. When I make bread I use a hot oven, usually 400 degrees. Just use a bread recipe(let rise once first then punch down)then roll out in a rectangle (its harder to roll), I have a heavy marble rolling pin for my breads.Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon over the melted butter. and roll up(not too tight though). Place 1/4 cup melted butter, 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon together and spread in bottom of greased pan. Then add cinnamon bread and let rise close to an hour then bake for 30 min.

Ohhhhh Tamara this one sounds Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood!!!!

I'm copying this one!
