Sweet Petals (Yeast)
This is a great old favorite from the late '70's that is shaped into a "petal" like a flower on a round pizza-type pan.
1 pkg. yeast
1/4 cup warm water
3 Tbsp. butter
2 Tbsp. sugar
1 1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 cup hot scalded milk
3 cups flour
Soften yeast in warm water. Combine butter, sugar, salt, & scalded milk in large bowl. Cool. Add yeast mixture & add flour. Knead 3-5 min. Place in greased bowl, cover, let rise in warm place (85 degrees) for 1 hour.
Place small pieces of dough in hands & roll into thin "snakes"..., then dip into butter, then cinnamon, sugar, nuts mixture (see below), & begin a "petal" in center of a round pan. Keep adding the coated "snakes" to form a giant flower petal, & sprinkle w/leftover sugar mixture/butter.
Let rise 1 hour.
Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 min.
Topping
1/2 cup melted butter to roll "snakes" in
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tsp. cinnamon
3/4 cup chopped pecans
