Directions: |
Directions:In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm milk. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar and salt. Cut in butter until crumbly. Add the yeast mixture, cream and egg yolks; stir until mixture forms a soft dough (dough will be sticky), Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Punch down dough; divide into quarters. Roll each portion into an 18-in.x4in. rectangle; cut into 1-in.x 4-in. strips.
Place two strips side by side; twist together. Shape into a ring; pinch ends together. Repeat with remaining strips. Place 2 inch. apart on greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled about 45 minutes.
Using the end of a wooden spoon handle, make a a 1/2 in. deep indentation in the center of each roll. Fill each with about 1 tablespoon pie filling.
Bake at 350 for 14-16 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.
For icing, in a large bowl, beat butter until fluffy. Gradually beat in the confectioners sugar, vanilla, salt and enough cream to achieve a drizzling consistency. Drizzle over rolls. |
