Preparation:
In mixer bowl, cream butter and sugar till light. Beat in egg

surface often.) To shape, bring ends together overlapping slightly to form a
loop; twist ends twice, then seal to center of opposite side forming pretzel

minutes or till lightly browned on bottom (tops will be pale). Repeat with
remaining dough. Makes 3 dozen.
