- Soften yeast in lukewarm water.
- Stir in sugar.
- Scald milk, add the first 1/4 pound butter and let it melt in milk.

- Divide dough in 2 portions for easier handling.
- Roll out 1 at a time on lightly floured area to 1/2 inches thickness.
- Cut into diamond shapes, approximately 3 inches (I use a pizza cutter- much easier!).

- Finish same procedure with second half of dough.
- Let rise until light, about 1 hour.
