Preparation

Step 1

Cream together butter, sugar, salt and eggs. Dissolve yeast in water: add butter mixture and 1-1/2 cups flour. Beat well.

Stir in remaining flour; let rise until double in size, about 1-1/2 hours. Roll 1/2 inch thick and cut into 4-inch squares. Place on greased cookie sheet.

Make a deep depression in center of each square and fill with 1 tablespoon filling. Bring 4 corners to center and pinch together. Cover and let rise about 30 minutes or until light.

Bake at 375 for 15 to 18 minutes. Brush with melted butter; dust with powdered sugar.
