Serves 20
Cake mix:
400 g flour
40 g soft butter
150-200 ml lukewarm milk
30 g fresh yeast or 1 1/2 sachets of
dried yeast
50 g sugar
A pinch of salt
1 egg yolk
Topping:
125 g soft butter
2 tsp vanilla sugar
100 g sugar
150 g flaked almonds
Method:
1. Place the flour, butter, crumbled
yeast, sugar, salt and egg yolk in a
mixing bowl. Add enough milk to blend
into a smooth velvety dough.
2. Leave to prove for about 20 minutes
at room temperature. Punch down,
then roll out on a baking tray and leave
to rise for another 20 minutes. When
risen make indentations in the top with
your fingers.
3. To make the topping, mix the butter
with the vanilla sugar and half of the
sugar. Using two teaspoons, drop small
portions into the indentations. Sprinkle
the remaining sugar and flaked
almonds over the top.

Tip
To make your own vanilla sugar:
Split a vanilla pod lengthwise and then
cut each half into quarters. Place in a
sealed jar with 500 g of caster sugar
and leave for 3-4 days before using to
allow the flavours to blend. The pulp
can be scraped out of the pods for an
even more intense flavour.
