LET’S MAKE SOMETHING GOOD
Combine water and yeast and leave for 3–5 minutes. Whisk in milk, sugar, salt, egg yolks, vanilla, and melted butter.
Mix in 3 cups flour. Add only enough remaining flour to make a soft, slightly sticky dough.
Cover and rise in a warm place for 1½–2 hours, until doubled. Punch down and refrigerate for 1–2 hours.
Roll to a ¼-inch-thick rectangle, brush with butter, and cut into 6–8 strips.
Coil each strip into a flat spiral, tucking the end underneath. Place on a lined baking sheet and brush with butter.
Rise for about 45 minutes, then bake at 350°F (177°C) for 12–18 minutes, until lightly browned.
Cool briefly and dust with powdered sugar.
Ingredients retain the source quantities; instructions were normalized and paraphrased for clear structured API data.
The cookbook does not assign a country to this recipe; API country is Africa.
