Instructions

  1. In a bowl, dissolve the yeast and a spoonful of sugar in the warm milk. Leave for 5 minutes until the surface foams.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the flour, remaining sugar, salt, vanilla and zest. Add the risen milk, the egg and the softened butter.
  3. Knead for 10 minutes until smooth and elastic and no longer sticky to the fingers.
  4. Cover and leave to rise for 1 hour somewhere warm, until doubled in size.
  5. Knock back the dough, divide it into 12 pieces. Flatten each into a disc, place 1 spoonful of jam in the centre and pinch into a ball.
  6. Arrange the balls snugly in a buttered round tin, cover and leave to rise for 30 minutes.
  7. Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the top is well browned.
  8. Brush with melted butter as soon as they leave the oven, dust with icing sugar and let cool slightly before turning out.

Variations and tips

Walnut version. Add 50 g of chopped walnuts mixed into the jam.

Using what's easy to find. Powidl (plum jam) can easily be replaced by a shop-bought plum jam.
