In this version for sweet yeast dumplings they are baked in the oven. Combine the dry yeast with 1 tsp. sugar and 5 tbsp. lukewarm milk. Stir to dissolve. Let stand 5 minutes until the mixture is foamy. In another bowl combine flour, salt, 25 g sugar, 30 g very soft butter, egg and lemon peel. Pour the yeast mix into the flour mix and add just enough lukewarm milk until the dough is smooth and not sticky. Cover the dough and let rise in a warm place for approx. 30 minutes until it is clearly larger in size. On a floured surface form a thick roll and divide into 6 large (or 9 smaller) parts. Form even balls and put them closely side by side in a greased casserole dish. Cover and let stand for another 10 minutes. Brush with 30 g melted Butter and sprinkle with 25 g sugar. Pre-heat the oven to 390 F and bake until golden brown. For the sauce stir half of a vanilla pudding package (3 oz package was used) in 2 cups milk. Bring to a full boil on medium heat, stirring constantly (if you are using German style unsweeten vanilla pudding powder add 2 tbsp. sugar and prepare 1/2 package with 2 cups milk according to directions).Serve the sweet yeast dumplings with the warm vanilla sauce.
