Slovenian Buhteljni

Ingredients:

50 dag plain flour

2 dag fresh yeast

10 dag butter

2 dcl milk

5 dag sugar or a tablespoon of honey

2 eggs

Salt

Jam or marmalade for filling

Icing sugar for sprinkling

Cooking Instructions:

First we make the dough. Place the flour in a large bowl and make a hole in the centre. Crumble the yeast into a cup, add two spoons of flour, a spoon of sugar and half a decilitre of warm milk. Pour the mixture into the center of the flour and wait until the yeast rises. Then knead the ingredients into a smooth dough. Leave in a warm place to rise. Roll out the dough about half a centimetre thick and cut into squares (approximately 7 x 7 cm). In the centre of each square place a teaspoon of jam. Pinch together the corners of each square to cover the jam. Dip each buhtelj in melted butter and place them on a baking tray, so that they are touching each other. Place the tray in a warm place to rise again. Bake them in a moderate oven until golden brown. When baked, leave to cool slightly then sprinkle with icing sugar.
