Milk rolls with a vanilla cream filling. A delicious recipe for a Nordic treat we discovered on our vacation in Norway, which sweetened up many rainy days for us…

For the dough, melt the butter and add the milk. Heat until lukewarm. Pour the liquid into a bowl. Combine the flour (5-6 cups), the dry yeast, and the sugar, and add it to the milk in the bowl. Knead everything into a smooth dough. Place a towel over the bowl and let the dough rise for 30 minutes. While the dough is rising, prepare the vanilla cream. Place the milk, cornstarch, sugar, vanilla sugar (5-6 teaspoons), and 2 egg yolks in a saucepan. Simmer over low heat (stirring constantly) until the cream thickens. The dough should now have risen. Remove it from the bowl and knead it a little more. Divide it into 8 roughly equal pieces. Form them into round balls and place them on a baking sheet. Flatten them slightly. Place another kitchen towel on top and let the dough rise for another 20 minutes. Toward the end of the baking time, preheat the oven to 175°C (top/bottom heat). Now, using an egg cup or shot glass, make a crater in the center of each ball. Fill with the vanilla cream. Brush the edges of each ball with egg or milk. Bake for about 20 minutes. Once cooled, coat the balls with a glaze made from powdered sugar and water.
