  2. Add the egg, lukewarm milk and vanilla, then knead for 8 minutes until you have a smooth dough.
  3. Gradually work in the softened butter and keep kneading until the dough is elastic.
  4. Cover and leave the dough to rise for 1 hour, until it has doubled in size.
  5. Divide it into 6 equal pieces, shape each into a ball, then flatten them slightly.
  6. For the filling, beat the softened butter, icing sugar and cinnamon together until creamy.
  7. Place a spoonful of filling in the centre of each piece of dough, fold the edges up to seal and place them on a tray.
