Buhteljni
Also known as: Buhtli
Soft Slovenian yeast buns filled with plum jam and dusted with powdered sugar.
About Buhteljni
Michelle Ryall bases these buhteljni on a recipe passed down by her Stara Mama. The Slovenian sweet yeast buns enclose plum jam and bake closely together in a buttered dish.
Milk, butter and egg yolks enrich the dough, with lemon zest and rum adding fragrance. The risen dough is rolled and cut into rectangles, filled with jam and folded closed.
Melted butter coats the touching sides, and beaten egg glazes the tops before baking. Powdered sugar finishes the buns after a short rest; breadcrumbs are an optional addition to a runny jam filling.
