saucepan scald milk and stir in butter and remaining sugar. Allow to cool
to lukewarm and beat in egg yolks and eggs. Combine with yeast mixture. Add
2 cups flour and beat until you have a smooth dough, then gradually add in
remaining flour until you have a soft dough you can form into a ball.
Remove to a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic. Oil

rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 1/2 hours. Punch down dough,  then
cover bowl with a cloth towel then plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
Remove dough from refrigerator with well floured  hands and divide in half.
Wrap one half of the dough in plastic and place in the freezer if not
using. While stiff firm and cold form into a long sausage shape. On a
lightly floured surface roll to a 30 X 9 inch rectangle about 1/8" thick.

strip of the cream cheese filling 3 inches in from the opposite side of the
dough. Place bean somewhere in this filling or cream cheese mixture. Brush

King Cake
RECIPE  FROM HAYDEL'S BAKERY, NEW ORLEANS
(Serves 10-15)

1 cup milk
1 teaspoon flavor (lemon, orange, vanilla or butter)
2 packages active dry yeast
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup all-purpose shortening
2 large eggs, beaten
4 cups all-purpose flour
Vegetable oil
Cinnamon sugar
Purple, green and yellow food coloring pastes
12 tablespoons. granulated sugar

   Put the milk in a small bowl and add the flavoring.  Dissolve the yeast in
the milk and set aside for a few minutes until foamy.  In a large bowl, cream
well together the sugar, salt and shortening.  Add the beaten eggs and continue
creaming.  Blend in the yeast mixture and add the flour slowly, kneading
constantly until the dough is smooth and pliable, about 10 minutes.  Allow the
dough to rise in  a warm place for about an hour and a half or until double in
size.
   Roll the dough out in a rectangular shape and brush the surface with
vegetable oil.  Sprinkle liberally with cinnamon sugar.  Seal in the sugar by
folding the dough in half lengthwise.  Cut the dough into three even strips,
sealing the edges and then braid the strips together.  Form the braided dough
into a circle and let it rise until double in size.  Preheat the oven to 375o
and mix the purple, green and yellow food coloring pastes with 4 tablespoons of
sugar each;  put the colored sugars on the cake just before it goes in the oven.
Bake for 12-15 minutes.  An alternate choice is to frost the baked and cooled
cake with white icing and then sprinkle on the colored sugars
