| 1. Mix yeast, water, and 1 teaspoon of the sugar in a small bowl and let sit for 10 minutes. | 2. In another bowl, mix milk, salt, butter, 2 eggs, and remaining 1/2 cup of sugar. Add about half of the flour and beat until very smooth, then pour in the yeast mixture. Add the remaining flour, making a stiff dough - can add additional flour if necessary. | 3. Place dough on a floured board and knead until smooth and elastic. Put dough into greased bowl, cover bowl and let the dough rise until doubled in size. | 4. Punch the dough down, place on a floured board and divide it into 6 equal pieces. | 5. Roll each piece with your hands to form a 1-inch thick rope and then shape rope into a "U" shape. Put a whole, raw egg into the inside of the "U", twisting the rope to form a fishtail at the bottom. | 6. Brush each "baby" with the beaten egg, shake on some of the colored sprinkles and place on a greased cookie sheet. Cover and let them rise until doubled in size. Bake at 350°for about 35 to 40 minutes. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
