Instructions: Dissolve yeast in warm water. Scald milk and add salt, sugar, and margarine; cool until just warm. Add beaten eggs to yeast. Gradually add flour. Knead a few minutes. Put in greased bowl, turning once and let rise until double in bulk in a warm place. Divide dough in half and roll into rectangle on floured board. Brush with melted butter and cut into strips 1 inch wide and 9 inches long. Tie strips in a knot and put on greased cookie sheet and let rise. Repeat with other half of dough.

This dough will be sticky, but try not to add more flour. Bake at 350 degrees for about 8 to 10 minutes until light brown. Brush with milk just before done and return to oven a couple minutes, or brush with butter when done. These freeze well.
