Swedish Tea Ring

Ok, this one is untested. I've actually eaten this (someone at work made it), but haven't made it myself. I asked her for the recipe because it really was delicious, but the recipe looks like it could be quite a bit of work. I'm going to go ahead and post it here, though, in case I decide to try it sometime and I'm going to use this site as a repository for all my recipes since I seem to be the only one using it regularly. :)

Dough

Dissolve 1 pkg yeast (2.5 teaspoons) in ¼ cup warm water, set aside.
Mix:
2 ¼ cups flour
2 tablespoons sugar
½ teaspoon salt

Cut in:
½ cup margarine or butter

Add:
¼ cup evaporated milk
1 egg
¼ cup gold raisins (optional)

Add yeast and water, mix well.

Filling

Cream together:
6 Tablespoons butter
¾ cup brown sugar
¾ cup nuts (almonds, walnuts or pecans) ground in food processor

Roll dough to 15 x 19 inches. Spread filling evenly, leaving one long edge clear. Roll and pinch edge. Form ring, pinch ends together to seal circle. Place on foil lined cookie sheet. Make cuts 1 inch aprt to ½ inch of center.

Bake 350 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes.

Topping

2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons evaporated milk
1 cup powdered sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla or almond flavoring

Mix together, pour on ring while ring is still warm.
