1 cup hot water
2 yeast cakes
1 cup sugar
1 cup melted butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
5 cups sifted flour

Add sugar to remaining cup of hot water; stir until sugar dissolves; add melted butter; let mixture cool. Add beaten eggs; blend well; add salt and yeast mixtures; stir well while adding flour. Place in warm place and let dough rise to twice its original size.
Place dough on floured board; cut into 5 parts and let rise again to twice its size. Roll out each part on slightly floured board 1/4 inch thick; cut into
3 inch squares; spoon on some filling and fold corners over. Place on greased cookie sheet and let rise, covered with cloth, in a warm place until double its size. Beat egg yokes; add milk.
