Directions: |
Directions:Mix milk, margarine, sugar, yeast, and beaten egg.
Stir in 2 cups of the flour and beat well. Gradually add enough of the remaining flour to make a soft dough.
Knead on a floured board until smooth and satiny. Place in greased bowl and let it rise about 2 hours in a warm place. Punch down and shape into 2 coffee cakes and put into greased pans. Let rise about 1/2 to 3/4 hour. Melt about half of a stick of margarine or butter and spread on top of the coffee cakes after they have risen, and sprinkle with a sugar and cinnamon mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for about 15-20 minutes (do not over bake).
This dough may be shaped into sweet rolls or tea rings. |

Notes: Grandma Scherbarth (Elsie) - used to make this coffee cake every Saturday morning. Family members could pick one up. From Grandma and Harriet, we learned to take our finger and push the dough down in spots before spreading the butter. In these depressions, the sugar and cinnamon mixture would settle and make for an extra good bite of,coffee cake! Don Esch rarely ate the coffee cake the day it was made. Even though it arrived at his mom's (Harriet) home each Saturday, when he was a kid, he liked it best on Sunday morning for breakfast.
