A cheerful spirit is one of the most valuable gifts ever bestowed upon humanity by a kind Creator. It is the sweetest and most fragrant flower of the Spirit, that constantly sends out its beauty and fragrance, and blesses everything within its reach. It will sustain the soul in the darkest and most dreary places of this world. It will hold in check the demons of despair, and stifle the power of discouragement and hopelessness. It is the brightest star that ever cast its radiance over the darkened soul, and one that seldom sets in the gloom of morbid fancies and forboding imaginations.
GLAZE
1. In a saucepan, heat milk until bubbles appear around edges of pan.
Combine butter, sugar, and salt. Add hot milk; stir well. Cool to lukewarm
(95-100 degrees).
2. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand until foamy, 5
to
10 minutes.
3. Beat yeast mixture and egg into milk mixture at low speed. Beat in 2
cups of flour at low speed until smooth. Continue beating until thick. Mix
in enough remaining flour until dough pulls away from sides of bowl.
4. On a floured surface, knead dough very gently until smooth and elastic,
2 to 3 minutes. Place in a large greased bowl, turning to coat. Cover
loosely with a damp cloth; let rise in a warm place until doubled, 1 hour.
5. Punch down dough. On a floured surface, divide dough in half. Cover with
a damp cloth; let rest for 10 minutes.
6. Grease 2 baking sheets. Using a floured rolling pin, roll 1 dough half
into a 12-inch circle. Cut circle into 6 wedges. Starting at side opposite
point, roll up each wedge. Place, point-sides down, on prepared baking
sheets. Curve ends to form crescents. Repeat with remaining dough half.
7. Cover loosely with a damp cloth; let rise in a warm place until almost
doubled, 30 minutes.
8. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Brush crescents with glaze. Bake until
golden, 15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
