INSTRUCTIONS
adapted from "The New York Times Cookbook" by Craig Claiborne Soften the yeast in the water. Bring the milk to a boil and cook to lukewarm (the outside of the pan will be comfortable to the touch). Add about half the flour and beat until smooth. Cover and let stand until light, at least thirty minutes. Blend one egg yolk with the tablespoon of water, cover and set aside. Mix the remaining egg white and whole egg, sugar, salt, and melted butter. Add to the yeast mixture and blend. Add enough of the remaining flour to make a fairly soft dough. Knead until dough is smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes. Turn into a greased bowl, grease the top, cover with a towel, and let rise in a warm draft-free place (80 to 85 degrees F) until doubled in bulk, about 1 1/2 hours. (A closed oven is an excellent place to let yeast rise.) Squeeze off small egg-shaped pieces of dough and shape into balls. Roll each to less than 1/4 inch thickness on a floured board. Place a rounded teaspoon of meat filling (recipe to follow) in the center, fold the sides of the dough over the filling, and roll into a long shape with tapering ends and a plump center. Place on a greased baking sheet, cover and let stand until the dough is light, about 20 minutes. Brush the tops with the reserved egg yolk mixture and bake in a preheated 425-degree F oven for fifteen minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 400 degrees F and bake until brown, about 20 minutes longer. Meat Filling: In a skillet heat half the butter, add the meat, and cook until the meat is brown. Remove the meat from the pan and grind again, using the finest blade of a food grinder. Add the water or meat broth to the skillet and heat while scraping loose the browned particles. In a separate skillet heat the remaining butter, add the onions, and cook until onions are brown. Stir in the flour. Add the liquid from the first skillet and cook, stirring, until thickened. Combine all the ingredients and season to taste. Use with the pastry as directed above. Makes about 36 servings.
