Post:

1. Prepare a sourdough starter from yeast and a little lukewarm milk and sugar, thicken it lightly with flour and let it rise for about 15 minutes
2. Put the flour, sugar, egg yolks into a bowl and gradually add the milk and oil, finally mix with the sourdough and work into a smooth dough
3. Dust the dough with flour, leave it covered to rise and then shape it into small balls, from which you press out small cakes with the bottom of a small glass
4. Brush the dough with beaten egg, fill with jam or other filling and sprinkle with crumbs
5. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C until golden brown
6. After removing from the oven, brush the cakes with melted butter mixed with a drop of rum and sprinkle with icing sugar once cooled.

Recommendation:

The dough is quite thick, so there is no need to grease the tin.

Note:

A pinch of salt is often added to the base of the dough to make it rise better.
