- Soften the yeast in water for 5 minutes then add to the milk.
- Stir in 2 cups of the flour, the sugar and salt.
- Add one egg at a time, beating after each addition.
- Beat in the butter and remaining flour.
- Kneed for a few minutes, then place in a bowl; cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk (guess that would be about one hour).

- Divide the dough in half and roll out to 1/4 inch thickness.
- Cut into 4 inch squares.
- Place a heaping tablespoon of filling on each and fold the dough over into a trangle, sealing the edges.
- Let rise until doubled in bulk (guess that would be about 30-45 minutes) and brush with beaten egg yolk.
- Bake in a 375°F oven 25 minutes or until browned.
-

- Combine with milk and honey.
- Cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until thick.
