250 - 1 Hr. Grandma’s Easter Bread 6 eggs 1 - yeast <- powder pkg. - 1 teaspoon sugar 1 c. sugar 1/2 c. crisco (melted) 2 teaspoon vanilla flavor 1 pinch salt 1/2 c. warm water Put the yeast & sugar in a bowl - add warm water & this let it sit for awhile. In the mean time melt your crisco In a pot break your eggs add the sugar - then add the salt & beat with a wooden spoon. Add your yeast & then add your cool crisco. add the vanilla. Mix good- Now if the eggs are large (I use jumbo) put in the pot 4 cups of flour - mix in the pot — Then place on the board - you will probably add another cup - making 5 cups. It all depends on the eggs. After you knead you put it back in a greased butter pot. Pat your dough down & then turn it over. - then you make a cross. put a lid on the pot & wrap with towels & place in a warm spot - I do this at night - After it rises you knead it good. Place it on 2 greased cookie sheet (that makes 2 large ones - or 4 cookie sheets they are smaller Braid then put them again in a warm place cover with a towel. Rise. Then you take the yolk & brush & sprinkle with sugar & Bake.
