1-First: combine 1 cup milk, 1/2 cup shortening, 1/3 cup sugar, and 1/4 tablespoon salt in a mixing bowl to kick things off. This mixture sets the base for a flavorful dough, so mix at medium speed for 3-5 minutes after adding half the flour and the proofed yeast.

2-Then, incorporate 3 egg yolks and the rest of the 3 1/2 cups flour, mixing for another 3 minutes until it’s sticky but workable.

3-Once mixed, scrape the dough into a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm spot for 2-3 hours until doubled.

4-For the next part, tip the dough onto a floured surface, roll it into a log, and cut it into 16 even slices.

5-Roll each slice into an 8×4 inch rectangle, brush with 1/4 cup softened butter, and shape into coils before letting them rise again for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

6-Bake in a preheated 300°F oven for 20-25 minutes, then cool and top with a cream of 1/2 cup softened butter mixed with 1/2 cup powdered sugar, finished with 1 cup grated cheese.
