Whole Goat Care

This was something my grandmother made every holiday

Orange Filled Coffee Ring

½ cup buttermilk
1 ½ Tbsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
1 ½ Tbsp. butter
½ cake compressed yeast or ½ pkg. dry yeast
1 egg
1 ¾ cups flour

Heat buttermilk in a double boiler, stirring constantly, until lukewarm. Remove from the sugar, salt, and melted butter. Add the crumbled yeast and stir until well mixed. Add the slightly beaten egg and gradually beat in the flour. Place in a buttered dish, brush with melted butter and set in a warm place to rise. When double in bulk, place on a floured board. Knead lightly for about 2 minutes and roll out in a large rectangle about 1/8 inch thick. Spread with orange filling made as follows.

¼ cup sugar
3 Tbsp. flour
1 tsp. butter
Pinch salt
7/8 cup milk
¼ tsp. vanilla
1 egg
1 ½ Tbsp. grated orange rind

Mix sugar, flour & salt. Add milk gradually and cook, stirring constantly for 5 minutes or until thick. Add some of the mixture to the slightly beaten egg. Mix well, return to pan and cook for a minute longer. Remove from heat and stir in butter, vanilla & orange rind. Cool and spread over rolled dough. Roll up like a jelly roll and bring ends together. Place in buttered layer cake pan (about 9 in. diameter). Cut gashes about 1 ½ inch apart around outside edge with scissor and twist so that one cut side of each section is down against pan. Brush top with melted butter and let rise until about double in size. Bake in moderate (375º) oven 20 – 25 minutes or until golden brown. Spread with a frosting made by mixing together:

2/3 cup powdered sugar
1 ¼ Tbsp. milk
1/8 tsp. vanilla.
