Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Combine milk, yeast and 1 tbsp sugar, mix in egg yolks and cream, set aside for 10 minutes.
  2. Blend flour, 1/4 cup sugar and salt in mixing bowl.
  3. Cut in butter until pieces are the size of small beans; pour yeast mixture over; fold just until ingredients are mixed; do not overstir or overmix.
  4. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate 4 hours or overnight.
  5. Turn dough out onto lightly floured board; divide into 3 portions.
  6. Dust each portion with flour; roll one at a time to make a rectangle 12 x 9 inches.
  7. With knife or pastry wheel make cuts 1 inch apart on diagonal almost to center- leaving enough room to spread preserves.
  8. Spread 1/3 cup preserves down the center; criss cross strips over filling to make a braid.
  9. Repeat for the remaining 2 portions.
  10. Place on greased cookie sheet and let rise until almost doubled.
  11. Bake at 375°F for 25-30 minutes until golden.
  12. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
