To proof the yeast:
Mix 1 TB (or 1 pkg) yeast with 2 TB warm water and 1 tsp sugar
Let sit 5 minutes
Melt 1/2 c. butter in 1 c. scalded milk
Let cool.
Add yeast mix, stir thoroughly.
To this add and mix well:
1/2 c. sugar
3 eggs, well-beaten before adding
3/4 tsp. salt
Add 4 cups flour (measure-DON'T USE MORE)
Stir well. Cover and allow to rise 5-6 hours. (3 hour minimum)
Turn onto a lightly floured surface & knead 1-2 times to mix everything and make it easier to work with.
Divide dough into thirds & roll out about 1/8 in thick circles.
Brush with some melted buter, if desired & cut into 8 pie shaped pieces (as evenly cut as possible)
