1 teaspoon(s) sugar
1/4 cup(s) warm water
1 1/2 cup(s) butter, divided

3 - eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cup(s) walnuts, finely chopped
1 1/2 teaspoon(s) cinnamon, ground

  • Combine 1/2 cup butter and 1/2 cup sugar. Add hot milk and stir until butter is melted. Add to yeast mixture.
  • Add 2 cups flour and beat until smooth; beat in eggs. Add remaining flour to make a soft dough. Place in greased bowl, turning to grease the top. Cover and let rise in warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
  • Melt remaining 1 cup butter and place in a small bowl. Place remaining sugar in a small bowland mix with 1 1/2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon. Place nuts in a small bowl.

Dip each into melted butter, then sugar & cinnamon mixture, then butter, then chopped nuts. Fold each rope into half; twist to make a braid. Place on greased baking sheet and cover. Let rise until double, about 20 minutes.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
