List of Ingredients
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 cup lukewarm water
1 1/2 package dry yeast
1/4 cup scalded milk
2 eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons cream
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 pound butter
2 1/4 cups sifted flour.
Dissolve the sugar in the lukewarm water, sprinkle the yeast over it, and let it stand for 10 minutes. Cool the milk to lukewarm and combine it with the yeast. Add the eggs, cream, salt, and sugar. Mix well. Work the butter into the flour until crumbly. Add the first mixture and mix quickly to form a soft dough, handling it as little as possible. Do not knead. Place the dough on a floured board and divide into 2 equal parts. Roll each part into a rectangle about 1/3 inch thick. Place one part of the rolled dough on a greased baking sheet. Spread the cabbage filling over it. Cover with the other part of the rolled dough. Seal the edges well on all sides. Prick the top lightly in several places. Cover and set it in a warm place to rise until light. This will take about 1 hour. Bake in a moderate over (350 degree F) for about 40 minutes. Cut into squared and serve warm.
