Ingredients
Jam (I like black currant)
Oil (for frying -- you need a lot)

1.
Dissolve yeast in lukewarm milk. Stir one cup of flour into the hot milk, combine and leave in a warm area for 45 minutes. Mix eggs, sugar, vanilla and add to dough, then add the butter and remaining flour.

Turn onto a lightly floured board and knead until smooth.

Put 1/2 tsp jam b/w each pair and press edges together.
