Ingredients

  • 2 C. all-purpose flour
  • 1 pkg. active dry yeast
  • 1/2 C. milk
  • 6 Tbsps. Crisco® All-Vegetable Shortening
  • 5 Tbsps. sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/3 C. silvered almonds
  • 1 Tbsp. butter

Directions

  1. COMBINE 1 C. flour and yeast in medium bowl.
  2. 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.
