No. 3082 — Excellent Buns in Paper Moulds
English historical translation of Molokhovets recipe No. 3082 from the 1901 Russian cookbook, retaining original methods and measures.
The source gives the following proportions: 2 glasses yolks, 2 glasses melted butter, 2 glasses milk that has been boiled and cooled until barely warm, ¼ glass thick yeast mixture, a little sugar and crushed bitter almonds or another flavouring.
Add enough flour to obtain a dough that is not too thick, approximately 4 pounds. The entry records ingredient quantities but gives no further baking method.
Original source: Read Russian recipe No. 3082. Historical quantities and terminology are retained. See the measurements guide. Period preparation and storage methods are not modern safety guidance.
