Traditional Conference Cakes

Conference Cakes AKA Danish Coffee Cake

2 C scalded milk
3/4 C sugar
2 beaten eggs
1/2 C butter
2 tsp yeast
5-6 C flour

Mix milk, butter, sugar, and yeast. Let sit 15 minutes. Add eggs then add flour, one cup at a time. Roll out about 1/2 inch thick. Melt shortening and brush on top, then sprinkle with sugar. Cut into odd & different shapes. Bake at 375* for 15-20 minutes. Serve warm with homemade real whipping cream and hot cocoa. You can also add "belly buttons" before baking by pinching brown sugar and melted butter inside some of the cakes.

Paige's opinion: These too are a "wow" factor. As a tradition in my family we would have these for General Conference Sunday hence the name "Conference Cakes" they are rich & sweet enough for a bi-yearly tradition. Oh soo yummy. Don't be lazy either. Make sure you use "REAL" whipping cream.
