Raisin Easter Egg Nests

In large bowl, combine 2 cups of the flour, the sugar, salt and yeast.

In small saucepan over low heat, combine milk, water, butter, orange peel and nutmeg.

Heat to very hot (120° to 130°). Butter need not melt completely.

Stir milk mixture into yeast mixture and beat with electric mixer at medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl as needed.

Add 3 of the eggs and 1 more cup of flour.

Beat at high speed 3 minutes.

Stir in raisins and enough of the remaining flour to make a soft dough.

Turn onto floured board and knead 8 to 10 minutes, until dough is smooth and elastic. Form into a ball and place in greased bowl.

Cover and let rise in warm place until almost doubled, about 1 hour.
