1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon baking soda

Directions

Combine 1 cup flour, sugar, undissolved yeast, salt and baking soda in a large bowl. Heat milk, sour cream and 2 tablespoons butter until very warm (120° to 130°F); stir into dry ingredients. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Add egg and 1/2 cup flour; beat 2 minutes at high speed, scraping bowl occasionally.

Cut into 12 (1-inch) strips. Hold ends of each strip; twist several times and shape into candy canes. Place on greased baking sheets, Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 45 minutes.
Bake at 375°F for 12 to 15 minutes or until done. Remove from sheets; cool on wire racks. Drizzle with Almond Glaze.
Almond Glaze: Combine all glaze ingredients in a small bowl, adding enough milk to reach desired constancy. Stir until smooth.
