Directions:
- Set the yeast in 1/2 cup lukewarm water with 1 teaspoons sugar in a small bowl, cover with saran wrap to rise, about 15 minutes.
- In a large bowl, put butter, 1 sugar, eggs, and cardamon, mix together.
- Add yeast mixture, evaporated milk (this is not the sweetened condensed milk but rather evaporated milk, like Carnation), add the 2 1/2 cups of warm water (use the empty can from the evaporated milk to measure. Stir well, and then stir in 3 cups of the flour, stirring until a batter if formed.
- Cover with wax paper and a towel. Put in a warm place and let rise until bubbly, about 1 - 1 1.2 hours.
- Stir in more flour, a bit at a time, and keep adding until a soft dough is formed. Usually will take about 6 cups more.
- Cover again and put in warm place for second rising. When doubled put on floured board and knead 5 to 10 minutes.
- Divide and braid into 3 or 4 coffee braids, depending on the size you would like. Raise until double. Then brush lightly with beaten egg and sprinkle with sugar.
- Bake at 375°F for 20 - 25 minutes.
