4 eggs                                                                                           2 c. milk

1 cube (1/2 c.) margarine or butter                                              3 tbs. yeast  ( 3 packets)

½ c. sugar                                                                                     6-7 c. flour

2 tsp. salt

Beat eggs, butter, sugar and salt together, using and electric mixer.  Add scalded milk and continue beating until the margarine is dissolved.  Cool to lukewarm, then add the yeast and beat till well-dissolved.  Add the flour gradually and beat as long as possible (about 51/2 – 6 c.)  Put the rest of the flour on the board, turn out dough, which will be sticky, and knead in more flour until smooth.  Turn into a greased bowl to rise 1 hour.  Divide into 4 equal parts, patting each into a circle about ¼ in. thick.  Spread each with ¼ of the orange mixture.  Cut like a pie into 8 pieces and roll each from wide side and place with the point tucked under on a well-greased pan about 1 ½ – 2 in. apart.  Let rise till double again or about 45 min.  Bake 400 degrees 12- 15 min. or until golden and spread is crystallized.

ORANGE SPREAD

1 ½ c. sugar, 1 ½ cubes mar. or butter (3/4 c.),melted,  grated rind of 1 whole orange.

Mix together and  let stand while dough is rising. Divide into 4 equal parts.
