Butter Kuchen - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    Dough ingredients
    1/3 cup milk
    1 (1/4 ounce) package active dry yeast
    2 tablespoons sugar
    2 tablespoons butter, melted
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1 egg
    1 1/4 - 1 1/2 cups flour
    Butter topping
    1/2 cup butter
    3/4 cup sugar
    1 egg
    3 tablespoons water
    4 teaspoons flour
    1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Preparation
    Dough directions:
    Heat milk until lukewarm.
    Stir in the yeast and let sit for 5 minutes to soften.
    Mix in the sugar, butter, salt, and egg.
    Stir in 1 1/4 cups flour.
    The dough should be very soft and wet.
    If dough is too much like a batter then add in the extra flour. You want the dough to be soft and sticky though.
    Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let dough rise for about an hour.
    With floured hands, press dough into the bottom of an 8\" cake pan making the edge slightly higher than the center.
    Cover and let rise for about 45 minutes.
    Meanwhile, prepare the butter topping.
    Combine all the ingredients in the butter topping and mix well.
    Press the risen kuchen down slightly in the center so it will hold the butter topping.
    Pour the butter topping on top of the kuchen.
    Bake at 350\u00b0F for about 25 minutes.
    Let cool completely before cutting.
    The filling will still be runny and sometimes it will run all the way through to the bottom of the pan. It'll still taste good though.
