Sprinkle filling on buttered portion.<\/p>\n

Starting at plain short side, fold dough over HALF of filling.<\/p>\n

Fold over again. Seal edge.<\/p>\n

Place on GREASED baking sheet with folded edge facing away from you.<\/p>\n

With kitchen scissors, cut 8-10 strips to within 1\/2″ of edge.<\/p>\n

Separate strips & twist to show filling.<\/p>\n

Pinch ends into points.<\/p>\n

Rise until doubled (about 45 minutes).<\/p>\n
