Christmas in July!

This blog is written in Chicago... Christmas is cold and usually snowy in Chicago... July is usually hot and steamy. It is only during those hot summer days that Chicagoans dream about our cold winters.

Christmas in July is a term that refers to celebrating the Christmas season less than 6 months away. Some people even have parties with Santa Clause and foods normally served during winter months. In the USA, many companies have drastic sales during this month.

1/4 cup butter
2 beaten eggs
1/2 cup warm milk
1 pkg yeast (2 teaspoons bulk yeast) dissolved in 3 tablespoons warm water
3 cups flour

Directions

Cream together sugar and butter. Then add eggs, milk, 1 package of yeast (2 tablespoons bulk yeast) dissolved in 3 tablespoons of warm water, flour, salt and vanilla. Beat all of these ingredients together. Then set dough aside and let it rise, until double in size. When your coffee cake dough has risen to double the size (this may take about 2 hours) put it in a 9x13" greased pan and spread with topping; Combine sugar, cinnamon, melted butter and nuts (you can use maraschino cherries or candied red and green cherries if you don't like nuts) Now place in a cold oven and leave it in there overnight to rise. The next morning turn oven to 350 degrees and bake for 1/2 hour. Take out and serve warm. This makes a large coffee cake or you can put the dough in two round pans instead.
