Ingredients

1/2 c. milk, warmed to lukewarm
1/4 c. sugar
3 pkg. yeast
1 c. milk
1 large can evaporated milk (12 oz.)
3/4 c. sugar
3/4 c. oil
4 egg yolks and 2 whole eggs, well beaten
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla

Preparation

Warm milk, evaporated milk, sugar, oil, eggs and egg yolks, salt and vanilla and add to first mixture, beating well.
Add about 6 to 8 cups of flour, mixing well to make soft dough.
Let rise until double in bulk.
Cut off small portions of dough, using a tablespoon to form balls.
Place on a greased baking sheet about one inch apart and brush with melted butter.
Let rise until light, then make an indentation in each piece and place fruit filling therein.
If using cottage cheese as filling, be sure to enclose cheese in dough.
Spread out the small pieces of dough, place cheese on this and pinch all sides together to completely seal.
