Method
Soak yeast with 1 tbsp sugar in 1/4 cup warm water (not hot). Scald milk & add shortening, sugar, & salt. Cool milk. Then add yeast, beaten eggs, & flour and mix well. Let dough stand, covered, in a warm place until doubled in bulk. Punch dough down & let dough rest for 10-15 minutes. Divide dough into 3 balls. Pat or roll each ball into a rectangle about 1/2" thick. Spread with melted butter. Combine chopped walnuts, cinnamon, & 1/2 cup sugar. Sprinkle 1/3 of this mixture on top of melted butter. Roll up as for a jelly roll. Form dough into a circle and blend ends together. With a kitchen shears slice roll into 3/4" sections (cut nearly to the center). Let rise until doubled in size. Bake at 350 degrees about 15 minutes(or until done). Frost ring with powdered sugar icing. Sprinkle with additional chopped walnuts. Serve with butter.
