   4      c             All-purpose flour --
                        - up to 4-1/2 c
   2      pkg           Active dry yeast
   1      c             Milk
     1/2  c             Sugar
     1/2  c             Shortening
   2                    Eggs
   3      tb            Butter -- melted
     3/4  c             Sugar
   1      ts            Ground cinnamon
   1      c             Nuts -- coarsely chopped
                        - (optional)

Preheat oven to 350 F.

In large mixing bowl combine 2-1/2 cups of the flour and the yeast.
Heat milk, 1/2 cup sugar, shortening, and 1 ts salt just until warm
(115 to 120 F), stirring constantly till shortening almost melts. Add
to dry mixture; add eggs.

Beat at low speed of electric mixer for 1/2 minute, scraping bowl.
Beat 3 minutes at high speed. By hand, stir in enough remaining flour
to make a soft dough. Knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth
and elastic, 8 to 10 minutes. Shape in ball. Place in greased bowl;
turn once. Cover; let rise in warm place till double, 1 to
1-1/4 hours.

Grease a 10" tube pan. Shape dough into 28 balls. Roll each in melted
butter, then in mixture of 3/4 cup sugar and cinnamon. Arrange in
pan; sprinkle with any remaining sugar mixture. If nuts are used,
scatter among the balls as pan is filled. Let rise till double, about
1 hour.

Bake at 350 F for 35 to 40 minutes. Cool in pan 15 to 20 minutes.
Invert on rack; remove pan.
