Steps
Dough
- In a small bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 2 tablespoons flour.

- In another bowl, combine butter, egg yolks, vanilla, and 2 tablespoons sugar. Mix with the yeast mixture.
- Then gradually add the rest of the flour into bowl.
- Knead the dough until smooth. If the mixture is too sticky, sprinkle a little bit of flour at a time.

- Place the dough onto a floured surface.
- Gently roll the dough into a log and cut into 6- 8 equal portions.
- Form each portion into a ball and place in a greased muffin tin. Cover and let it rise again for about 45 minutes.
- Brush the tops with melted butter and bake at 400°F for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown. Set aside to cool.
Filling

Glaze
