Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Cream together butter, margarine, cottage cheese, salt and 4 cups of flour. Shape into a large square, cover and chill overnight.

Step 2

Cut dough into 4 quarters. Roll each quarter out individually, about 1/8 inch thick. Cut into 8 inch strips, as wide as you like.

Step 3

Roll over tubes (I use clothespins covered with aluminum foil). Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) until brown.

Step 4

To make Filling: Cook milk and 4 tablespoons of flour until thick paste forms. Let cool completely.

Step 5

Beat shortening and confectioner's sugar until fluffy. Add marshmallow cream and vanilla. Then add COLD paste and beat.

Step 6

Fill tubes with cream filling. Sprinkle with confectioner's sugar just before serving.
