3 cakes fresh yeast
1 tbsp. sugar
2 cups milk, scalded and cooled to lukewarm
2 tbsp. flour
15 egg yolks

Directions:
|
Mix yeast cakes, 1 tbs. sugar, and 2 tbs. flour in 2 cups lukewarm milk; stir until dissolved. Cover bowl and let stand in warm place to work until bubbly, about 1-1/2 hours.
Beat the egg yolks until thick; add confectioners' sugar, mixing in until thoroughly blended. Add yeast mixture to yolk mixture; mix well. Stir in flour, salt, vanilla, and grated lemon rind; knead together until the mixture is smooth. Add the softened butter, kneading it in a little at a time. Continue kneading the dough until it no longer sticks to your hands. Knead in raisins, Cover with plastic wrap and a bath towel and set in a warm place to rise until doubled in height.
Punch dough down to release air. Grease hands with butter and shape dough to fit greased round baking containers (four 1-lb coffee cans work well) approximately 1/3 full. Let rise until doubled in height. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F for 8 minutes; turn oven down to 300°F and continue baking for 45 minutes.

Variation: if desired, use only 1/2 cup raisins and add 2 ounces blanched chopped almonds and 2 ounces finely diced candied orange peel; mix these in near the end of kneading.
