English historical translation of Molokhovets recipe No. 3121 from the 1901 Russian cookbook, retaining original methods and measures.
Beat ¼ pound butter, 4 yolks and 2 whole eggs until pale. Add ⅜ glass cream, 2 zolotniks yeast and enough flour to make a dough that comes away from the hands. Season with salt and beat thoroughly.
Make small flat buns and set two stoned plums on each. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon, put a piece of fresh butter on the fruit and bake for ¼ hour.
Sprinkle with sugar after removing from the oven. Cherries or apples may replace plums.
