    List of Ingredients




    Cake:
    3 c. flour
    2 T. sugar
    1 t. salt
    1 T. yeast (package)
    3/4 c. milk
    3 T. shortening

    Filling: (If desired, for less filling, use ½ of each of these ingredients)

    1/2 c. finely chopped nuts
    1 c. white sugar
    1/4 c. brown sugar (plus some)
    2 t. cinnamon
    1/2 c. butter, melted

    Glaze:
    1/2 c. powdered sugar
    1 to 2 t. milk

    Recipe



    Mix 2 cups flour, sugar, salt and yeast in large bowl. Combine milk,
    water and shortening in a small sauce pan. Heat till very warm (120 to
    130 F.) (I just heated it in the microwave for 2 minutes!)
    Add warm liquid to the flour mixture; blend at low speed until
    moistened. Beat 3 minutes at medium speed. By hand, stir in remaining
    cup of flour until dough pulls away from sides of bowl. On lightly
    floured surface, knead dough until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes.
    Place dough in greased bowl. Cover loosely and let rise in warm place
    until light and doubled in size (about an hour)
    Grease a 12 in. pizza pan or large cookie sheet (suggestion - line it
    with tinfoil first). In a shallow dish or pie pan combine nuts, sugars
    and cinnamon; mix well. Place melted butter in another pie pan.
    Punch down dough several times to remove all air bubbles. Turn dough
    onto lightly floured surface. Pinch off 1 1/2 to 2 inch piece of dough;
    roll into 6 in. strip (don't worry about the size, variety is
    interesting!). Repeat with remaining dough. Dip each strip in butter to
    coat; roll in sugar mixture to coat
    evenly. Place one strip in center of pan; wind to form a coil. Repeat
    with remaining strips, placing close together to make a round, flat
    coffee cake. Cover and let rise in warm place until light and doubled
    in size, 45 to 60 minutes.
    Heat oven to 350, uncover coffee cake. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until
    golden brown. Cool 5 minutes, remove from pan; place on serving plate
    Combine glaze ingredients, adding enough milk for drizzling
    consistency. Drizzle over warm cake.
    **if you want it to taste like the icing at the cinnamon roll places
    in the mall or something, add a drop or 2 of vanilla and almond extract!
