This is all the instructions my Gram had. The rest was in her head. Here's how I made these.

1. In Kitchen Aid, cream together butter and sugar
2. Proof yeast in 110 water with 1 t. sugar (This took us 3 tries since we didn't have a thermometer for the water. Or it could have been the yeast. But, we finally had success in a small metal bowl, not the pyrex measuring cup.)
3. Scald milk by heating in microwave then cool
4. Alternating, slowly add milk, yeast, and flour
5. Refrigerate overnight
