This recipe came from my great Aunt Evelyn Borgeson and is loved by our family!
3 c. water (hot)
1 c. powdered dry milk
3/4 stick margarine or butter
3/4 c. sugar
1 tsp. ground cardamom
2 eggs
1 1/2 t. salt
2 pkg. yeast
8 - 9 c. flour (use part of this for kneading)
Mix hot water and dry milk. Add butter. When melted, add sugar that has been mixed with yeast. Add eggs, cardamom and salt. Add flour slowly, at least 7 1/2 cups. Add more if dough is soft, then add 1/2 c. more. Use the rest for kneading. Let rise until double. Punch down and let rise again. Knead dough well; shape into 3 parts. Cute each part into 3 strips, then braid. Place in long pan; let rise. When ready to put in oven, brush with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar/cinnamon mixture (or pearl sugar). Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
