Ingredients:
- 1/2 teaspoon Yeast
- 1 teaspoon Warm water
- 1/2 lb Flour
- 3/4 Teaspoon salt
- 1 oz. butter or Margarine
- 4 1/2 oz Milk
- 1 Egg
- 1 Egg for glazing
Method:
Step 1 -Put 1/2 a teaspoon yeast in a cup and add 1 teaspoon warm water to it. Cover it and leave it for 15 minutes in a warm place (near a heater/inside an oven with very mild temperature/near the stove). Then add 1/2 teaspoon sugar and stir it once or twice. Let it ferment for one hour.
Step 2 - Now sieve the flour in a bowl and add salt to it. Next add butter and mix with your hands so it resembles bread crumbs. Then add a beaten egg and the yeast mixture to it and kneed well. Now add milk little by little as needed until it becomes a smooth dough. The dough must not stick to the fingers.
Step 3 - Place the dough in a greased bowl, and cover it with a wet cloth and leave in a warm place for 2 or 3 hours until doubled in size.
Step 4 - Once it has risen you could start making the buns. Divide dough into pieces. Roll into balls and cover with the wet cloth for 5 minutes.
Step 5 -Flatten each ball into a circle with about 6” diameter on a well floured surface. Next stretch the edges of the circle another inch or so, leaving the center a little thick. Put about 1 tbsp of filling into the center. Fold into a triangle. See picture below.
