Cinnamon Twists  

 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
   3/4 cup warm water (110 degrees to 115 degrees F), divided
   4 cups all-purpose flour
   1/4 cup sugar
   1 1/2 teaspoons salt
   1/2 cup warm milk (110 to 115 degrees F)
   1/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
   1 egg
   FILLING:
   1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted
   1 1/2 cup sugar
   4 tablespoons ground cinnamon

Directions

   In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in 1/4 cup warm water. Add 2 cups of flour, sugar, salt, milk, butter, egg and remaining water; beat on medium speed for minutes. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch down. Roll into a 16-in. x 12-in. rectangle. Brush with butter. Combine brown sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over butter. Let dough rest for 6 minutes. Cut lengthwise into three 16-in. x 4-in.x strips. Cut each strip into sixteen 4-in. x 1-in. pieces.  Twist and place on greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes. Bake at 350 degrees F for 15 minutes or until golden brown.

salt and pepper to taste
8 ounces peeled cooked shrimp or prawns

3. Add the shrimp and milk and gently heat. Serve with crusty bread.

A great way to find all the recipes in the best series ever (of course Redwall) is to buy the cook book from Brian Jacques. It is called the Redwall Cookbook. I love it, the best recipe in it is the strawberry fizz. It also has little stories in it. It is great fun and you can buy everything nesscary for the recipes at your local organic market. I just made some Strawberry fizz and i was in heaven.

Can you tell us how to make this strawberry fizz?
