Gather
Ingredients
- ¼ cup Milk warmed
- 1 tbsp Yeast
- 1 tsp Sugar
- 3 cups All-Purpose Flour
- ½ lb Butter
- 1 pinch Salt
- 3½ tbsp White Granulated Sugar
- ½ tsp Baking Powder
- 3 Egg Yolks

Make it
Method
- 1
Mix together milk, yeast, and 1 tsp sugar, then set aside. Ensure it does not clump.
- 2
Using a pastry knife, mix flour, butter, salt in a bowl until crumbly.
- 3
Add 3½ tbsp sugar and baking powder to the flour mixture.
- 4
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Add the yeast mixture, then the sour cream and vanilla.
- 5
Mix the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients. You should get a dough with the consistency of peanut butter cookie dough. Add additional flour if the dough is too sticky.
- 6
Knead dough well and let stand 2 hours in a warm place. To allow the dough to rise, place the bowl with the dough (covered with a tea towel) onto the top rack of the oven and place a bowl of hot water on the lower rack. Leave the oven off, and this setup will gently warm and allow the dough to rise.
- 7
Divide the dough into 5 equally-sized balls.
- 8
Sprinkle sugar on a board, put a dough ball on the board, and roll out into a circle about 12 inches across.
- 9
Flip the dough over and put more sugar on the board. Cut like a pizza into wedges about 1½ inches at the widest. Put about 1 tsp filling on each wedge and roll in sugar.
- 10
Bake on a cookie sheet at 325°F for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
