1/2 cup lemon yogurt
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind

Mix together flour and salt. Cut in butter. Dissolve yeast in water. Set aside for 5 minutes until bubbly. Add yeast, yogurt, egg and rind to flour, mixing well. Dough will be somewhat sticky. Wrap in wax paper and chill for about 2 hours. Roll half the dough on a lightly sugared board into an 8x16-inch rectangle. Fold ends toward center, overlapping. Sprinkle with sugar. Roll again to same size and repeat. Repeat a third time, ending in the rectangle. Cut into 1x4-inch strips. Sprinkle with nutmeg. Twist ends into opposite directions, stretching slightly. Place on lightly greased cookie sheets or bend into the shape of a horseshoe. Bake at 375ºF for 10 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Plain yogurt can be substituted. The dough can be chilled overnight if more convenient.
