   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    2      cups          Milk
      1/2  cup           Sugar
    1                    Egg -- beaten
      1/2  cup           Butter
    1      teaspoon      Salt
    2      tablespoons   Yeast -- dry
    6      cups          Flour
    3      cups          Filling
                         -----FILLING-----
      1/2  pound         Apricots -- dried
      1/3  cup           Sugar
      1/4  teaspoon      Lemon juice
    1 1/2  tablespoons   Butter
 
 Dough:  In a large saucepan, scald milk and add sugar, egg, butter, and salt.
 Cool mixture to 115-120 F.  In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm milk
 mixture.  Add flour gradually and knead to a very soft dough.  Cover and let
 rise until doubled in size--about one hour.  Shape dough into balls about 2″
 in diameter.  Place on greased baking sheets 2″ apart. Cover and let rise
 again until doubled--about 30 to 45 minutes.  When they have risen, make an
 indention in the center of each roll.  Fill each with desired filling and bake
 at 350 F. for 20 to 25 minutes.
 
 Filling:  In a large saucepan, cover apricots with water and cook until plump
 and tender (about 20 minutes).  Drain and place in a blender or food processor
 and puree.  In a saucepan, combine puree with sugar, lemon juice, and butter.
 Cook over medium heat until butter has melted.
