Put minced bacon and onion in skillet; cover with water. Cover pan; simmer

refrigerator.
Heat milk and butter; add sugar and salt. Dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup of this

flour; beat vigorously. Cover; let rise in warm place until doubled (2 hours). Punch down; cover and let rise again.
Cut dough into four sections. Roll each section on lightly floured board until 3/8-inch thick. Cut circles with cookie cutter. Put a teaspoon of cooled bacon mixture in center of each; fold sides over. Put seam side down
on lightly greased cookie sheet; let rise again until doubled. Bake at 375
degrees for 15 to 20 minutes until lightly tanned; brush with mix of egg yolk and 2 teaspoons water. Continue baking until golden brown, 10 minutes.
Serve hot or reheat. Makes 5 dozen. Try it with quick-acting yeast.
