STEP BY STEP RECIPE
BATTER:
Prepare dough best in the evening.
Mix flour with yeast. Add the rest of the ingredients (except the butter) and knead until homogeneous.
Now add melted butter. Knead well so that it becomes airy-smooth.
Place in fridge for 8-10 hours (overnight).
CREAM:
Bring the milk to a boil, pour the liquor.
Beat the egg with the sugar, add the flour, mix well.
Add hot milk, stirring constantly.
On a low heat, bring to a thickening, not stopping to stir.
It is also better to make the cream the day before, so that it cools down well.
In the morning take the dough out of the fridge, let it stand for 1-1.5 hours.
Then knead it a little, divide it into 12 equal slices, form round buns. Let stand for another 15-20 minutes.
Coat with a mixture of egg yolk and milk.
Make a cross-shaped cut in the top and fill with cream.
Bake at 180°C for 20-25 minutes.
