Ingredients

• 1 kg Wheat flour
• 400 ml Milk, warm
• 100 ml Water, warm
• 3 Egg yolks
• 100 g Butter, melted
• 30 ml Sunflower oil

Directions

1. In a large bowl stir the yeast, warm milk and water. Add egg yolks, salt, melted butter and sifted flour. Knead the dough. Cover bowl with plastic wrap. Let stand until doubled in size, about 1 hour in a warm place.


2. To make the filling, in a saucepan melt butter or ghee, add flour and mix well. Add sugar, vanilla powder and salt. Stir constantly to combine all ingredients.
