with sugar and cinnamon, mixed and sifted. Roll like jelly roll; cut off
slices one-half inch thick; set them close together, cut side down, in a
greased dripping pan. Brush between rolls with melted Cottolene, cover
and set to rise. When light, bake thirty minutes in a moderate oven,
remove from oven and brush over with white of egg diluted with two
tablespoons cold milk. Return to oven to brown; repeat, to make them
glossy.
