Here is my recipe for Crispies
1 package yeast
1/4 cup warm water
4 cups flour
1 cup melted shortening (butter,oleo or crisco)
1 cup sour milk
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla

SUGAR MIXTURE - 2 cups sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon
Put yeast in water, add rest of ingredients. Cover and put in the refrigerator for 2 hour to 2 days. Divide in half. Sprinkle 1/4 of the sugar mixture on pastry cloth. Roll out dough as for cinnamon rolls. Put 1/4 of sugar mixture on dough. Roll up and slice in 1" slices. Toll flat and bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.

The way we make them in our family-we call them crisp's.

Make crust like for pie crust. then put sugar, sprinkle cinnamon and fine chopped nuts to fill crust. Crust is about 4" round or square. You can roll it or leave them flat. Bake in oven about 6 minutes at 350. Or until lite tan. We love them.

Thanks for all the great ideas and recipes: Plamiers, Beaver Tails, Crispies, baked with yeast, using purchased bread dough, corn burritos, taco shells, pie crust - seems these treats are enjoyed by many of you. I will try some of these recipes and have a dear friend help me taste test. Always good to have a second opinion.
Forgot to ask if any of these have cholesterol or calories - probably not

Oh, I don't think so, if they came from the Quilting Board members

Yum, yum yum. I love fried or baked bread dough! I have never tried these. We do have something similar in western Canada. We call them "Horse Blankets".
