Looks good: Swedish Tea Ring

Gosh, used to make a recipe like this when I first started making pretty breads many years ago,
Always did it around the holidays. Put some pieces of marischino cherries on top for decoration, ICK. can't even stand the smell of them now. Looking forward to doing it again, Thanks!
Heading home this morning, I actually have a little color on my arms and face. I had such pallor and wasn't able to get out of the galley much.

Nan, so did I! Many fond memories...
my sunday school teacher taught me how to bake bread and pastries when I was in HS. One of her specialties was the tea ring (wonder what makes this one "Swedish", BTW???), which I soon mastered and I was making 2-3 of these each week that I would bestow on favored teachers, family, etc. And they're so cheap to make and look so stunning when finished. This is an easy way to impress people with your culinary prowess! LOL
Also, you can get very creative with the filling. The basics of course are brown sugar, cinnamon, and nuts. But you can add all sorts of dried fruits or even chocolate (a very special tea ring).
An finally, my HS had a cooking class separate from Home Ec. that I wanted to take but was never allowed to because "that's for the girls". I was told I could take a shop class, which was for the boys. I begged the teacher to intercede and she was slightly, well, actually not so slightly, but majorly condescending of my even thinking I could cook.
I always made sure that teachers on her floor got a tea-ring often enough to rub it in. When one of these appeared it created quite a stir and the other teachers would come running hoping to snag a piece.
I heard from other teachers who knew my agenda, that she always was especially negative of it and would never touch it when asked, they would tell me, giggling naughtily.
Her loss. Everyone else thought they were stunning. I made so many of these that they were very professional in appearance from all the practice.
