Cooking Recipe Prune Buns

Recipe Ingredients

1 Cake dry yeast
OR 1 cake compressed yeast
1 ts Sugar
1 c Sugar
1 c Butter or butter substitute
6 c Flour
2 c Flour
1 c Milk, scalded and cooled
3 Eggs, well beaten
2 ts Salt
2 c Milk, scalded and cooled

Directions

Make a sponge of the yeast, 1 tsp sugar, 1 cup milk, and 2 cups
flour. Beat until smooth. Set in a warm place and allow to rise
overnight or until light and bubbly. Cream 1 cup sugar and butter
together. Add eggs, salt, and milk. Add the sponge and beat well. Add
flour, a little at a time, until a dough as soft as can be kneaded is
formed. Knead until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth. Set in a warm
place to rise. When double in bulk turn onto lightly floured board.
Shape into buns. Place on well-oiled baking sheet. Cover and let rise
until treble in bulk. With a knife handle, make a hole in the center
of each bun. Fill with prune preserves or any sweetened fruit
desired. Bake immediately in hot oven (450 F) 15-20 minutes. When
baked sprinkle with powdered sugar. 36 servings. Mrs. George Rada,
