Lithuanian Bacon Buns

Put minced bacon and onion in skillet; cover with water. Cover pan; simmer until water evaporates. Put complete mixture into a loaf pan and cool in refrigerator.

Heat milk and butter; add sugar and salt. Dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup of this lukewarm liquid. Add eggs to remain- dissolved yeast mix. Stir in sifted flour; beat vigorously. Cover; let rise in warm place until doubled (2 hours). Punch down; cover and let rise again.

Cut dough into four sections. Roll each section on lightly floured board until 3/8-inch thick. Cut circles with cookie cutter.

Put a teaspoon of cooled bacon mixture in center of each; fold sides over. Put seam side down on lightly greased cookie sheet; let rise again until doubled.

Bake at 375 degrees F for 15 to 20 minutes until lightly tanned; brush with mix of egg yolk and 2 teaspoons water. Continue baking until golden brown, 10 minutes.

Serve hot or reheat.
