"Plain fresh bread, its crust shatteringly crisp. Sweet cold butter. There is magic in the way they come together in your mouth to make a single perfect bite."--Ruth Reichl

Directions:
Directions:
Mix warm water, sugar and yeast and let rise, then mix in powdered milk, eggs, salt, flour and oil. If dough seems too sticky, add flour as needed. I knead the flour in my mixer until elastic. Let dough rise until doubled.

Roll out dough and cut into strips. Dip strips in melted butter, twist and wind around to form buns. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Let rise again. Bake at 350º for about 15 minutes.

When cooled, top with icing, coconut and toasted almonds or pecans. There isn't an exact recipe for the icing. I mix 1/4-1/2 cup soft margarine and add icing sugar and canned milk until I like the consistency, Then add almond flavoring to taste - a bit at a time so it's not too strong.
