Brandy Ring Twists

1 3/4 cups butter
2/3 cup sugar
1 egg yolk
3 1/4 cups flour approximately
3 tablespoons brandy
cinnamon sugar

Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat egg yolk into brandy
and mix in with butter. Gradually sift in enough flour to make a smooth
yet soft dough. Gather this into a ball and chill for 1to 2 hours. Pinch
off small pieces of dough, and on a lightly floured board toll into thin
pencil strips approximately 5 inches long. Twist the rolls together in
pairs, rope fashion and then make a ring. Dough should remain cold until
it is rolled, so divided into portions so some will remain chilled while
you work the rest. Sprinkle with sugar and place on a lightly buttered
baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 350- degree oven for 10 mins, or until
a pale golden yellow. Cool and store in an airtight container.Yields: 60
Traditionally served in Sweden at Christmas time.
