HEAT milk, shortening, 4 Tbsp. sugar and salt in small saucepan just until warm (115ºF to 120ºF), stirring just until shortening softens; add to dry mixture. Add egg. Beat with electric mixer at low speed 30 seconds, scraping bowl. Beat 3 minutes at high speed. By hand, stir in enough remaining flour to make a soft dough.
SPRAY a 8 x 1 1/2– or 9 x 1 1/2-inch round baking pan with no-stick cooking spray. Turn dough into pan. Sprinkle with nuts and 1 Tbsp. sugar. Cover; let rise until almost double in size, about 1 hour. Dot with butter.
HEAT oven to 375ºF. Bake 18 to 20 minutes.
