 Directions

Heat milk and sugar in saucepan to scalding, then cool to lukewarm.

melted butter. Repeat with second half of dough.

Cover loaves and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes. Bake at
375'F. 25-30 minutes, until golden brown. Let cool to warm. Sprinkle
with powdered sugar and decorate with candied pineapple or cherries.
