7. here's a recipe from the Pittsburgh newspaper, via chowhound

4 cups all-purpose flour, divided
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, divided
1/2 cup (1 stick) margarine
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
2 teaspoons butter
2 egg yolks
1 cup evaporated milk
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 package active dry yeast
1 cup confectioners' sugar
Filling (recipe follows)
Sift together 3 1/2 cups flour, the baking powder and 1 tablespoon granulated sugar. Add the margarine, shortening and butter and cut in as for pie crust. Set aside.

In a bowl, combine the egg yolks, evaporated milk, vanilla and yeast. Add to the flour mixture and mix well. Chill overnight.

Heat the oven to 325 degrees.

Working with small pieces of dough at a time, roll out on a board sprinkled with a mixture of 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar and the confectioners' sugar.

Roll thinly, then cut into strips approximately 1/2-inch wide. Wrap on old-fashioned wooden clothespins that have been covered with foil and lightly greased, or use metal baking rods according to manufacturer's directions.

Place on an ungreased baking sheet and bake for 10 to 15 minutes. Carefully remove the shells from the pins immediately. Let cool, then fill the shells with the filling, using a pastry bag.
