(note to self: ignore the unfinished window trim and backsplash in this photo)
Start by scalding the milk so it will have time to cool while you prepare other ingredients.

Start by scalding the milk so it will have time to cool while you prepare other ingredients.
In a mixing bowl, add shortening, sugar and salt. Then add to scalded milk. Cool to a lukewarm temperature.This needs time to cool so you can add the yeast! And by the way... DISSOLVE the yeast before you add it... which I DIDN'T do the first time...
Add the dissolved yeast, beaten eggs, and about half of the flour. Beat well. Add the rest of the flour and beat until dough is soft.
Turn out on a floured work surface and kneed until satiny. It will literally be a little shiny and pliable.
Put dough in a greased bowl, turn to grease top and cover until doubled in size.
When doubled in size, punch down and turn out on floured work space again. Split dough in half and shape into rectangles about 1/4 inch thick. Brush with melted butter. Sprinkle with brown sugar, cinnamon and nuts.
Shape into rings and place on a greased baking sheet. Cut dough with scissors at one inch intervals... ALMOST through rings. Turn slices slightly, cover and let them rise until doubled.Bake for 25-30 minutes. But be careful... don't let the inside get too dry!!!
Cover with coffee cake icing and enjoy!!

I have to try this! My great-grandparents were born and raised in Sweden so I'm always on the lookout for Swedish recipes. This looks delicious and I'd love a piece now with my coffee. Thank you for sharing!
I would say these tea rings were worth a little extra time in the kitchen (never a bad thing in my book, anyway)!! They sound absolutely delicious and I'd love to sit down to one with my morning coffee! Thanks so much for sharing this post with the hearth'nsoul hop this week :)

The nice thing about a treat like this is that you know when you are eating it that someone put a lot of love into baking it. Thanks for linking your recipe to Hearth and Soul.
