Preparation

Step 1

Dough
Cream butter & sugar; add eggs, one at a time & beat well. Add yeast mix & half & half. Then blend flour & salt into creamed mixture & mix thoroughly. Knead. Dough will be slightly sticky (not like bread dough) PUt in greased bowl & cover. Refrigerate over night or several hours. Dough will be hard so work with it again. I usually let set a while because it is so cold. Knead & divided the dough into 3 equal parts. Roll each to about a 12 x 15 rectangle & spread with nut mixture. Roll jelly roll fashion on long sides & pinch edges to seal seam. Lay in greased & floured pan seams down (side by side) let rise until double in bulk. (Cover with towel) Bake at 350 degrees for 10 min. ten 200 degree for 1 hour.

Filling:
Melt butter in half & half with honey (scald). Pour over nuts, sugar & cinnamon. Pour gradually sometimes the mixture get too runny.
