Cinnamon Twists

This recipe originally came from a small prairie town community cookbook...and was given to me by a friend thirty years ago. It's written on the original little recipe card and is usually at the front of my recipe file. It was always a family favorite to take by the bucket on picnics and camping trips. My brother in-law dubbed them pig tails long ago...a friend called them cinnamon schnetchi. Call them by any name...you can't eat only one!

5 cups flour

2 Tablespoons Baking Powder

Beat eggs slightly with a fork; mix with milk.

Roll dough into circle (about 9 inches).
