DIRECTIONS:
In a
large bowl cream butter. Add sugar and salt and mix together.
Soften yeast in warm water. Blend the milk, butter mixture, and
yeast. Add egg yolk, eggs, and flour. Beat with a wooden spoon for
two minutes.
Cover and let rise in warm place until more than doubled, about
two hours. Stir down and beat thoroughly. Cover tightly with
aluminum foil and refrigerate until dough is firm (about an hour).
Grease the brioche tins with a brush and a small amount of
margarine or non-stick spray. Scale the pate brioche into size 2
ounce pieces and round them up into smooth balls on a floured
surface.
Using a pastry brush brush the tops of the dough balls with egg.
Pick them up from the bottom with your fingers and dip the tops
fully in a dish of decorative sugar. Place directly into the
greased tins, with the sugar side up.
Bake in a hot oven 425 degrees (F) until golden brown, reduce the
heat to 375 F. toward the end of the bake.
Remove from tins as soon as possible to prevent moisture build-up
inside the tin.
The original recipe yields: 8 servings.
