Ingredients

• Blend all with a pastry blender:
• 6 cups sifted flour
• 8 tsp. baking powder
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 2 cups sugar
• 10 tsp. Crisco
• Combine:
• 1 1/2 cup milk (warm enough to dissolve 2 pkg. yeast) and 1 Tbsp. sugar

• 1 tsp. vanilla
• Prune Filling:
• Cook until soft; drain and mash.
• 1 lb. prunes
• 3 cups water
• 1 tsp. cinnamon

Preparation

Step 1

Add flour mixture gradually to make it workable - it will be sticky, but keep adding flour and kneading the dough. Cut into 5 balls; knead & flour each. Let rolls raise on floured towel for 18 or so minutes. Rollout each roll - fill with prune filling and prick with fork and rub with egg yolk. Bake at 350 degrees for 18 minutes on a greased pan. Rub with better immediately after removing from oven.
