Brioche

Ingredients

• 1 cup milk
• 1 1/2 yeast cakes
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2/3 cup butter
• 4 1/2 cups flour
• 3 egg yolks
• 3 whole eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract

Instructions

Scald the milk, cool until lukewarm, and then add the yeast cakes. When they are thoroughly dissolved, add the sugar, the butter, which has been softened but not melted, and half of the flour. Add the egg yolks and beat with the hands. Add the eggs one at a time and when all have been beaten in thoroughly, continue to add more flour. After all of the flour and also the lemon extract have been added and the mixture is of a consistency to knead, allow it to rise for 6 hours. Punch down and place in the ice box or some other cool place overnight. In the morning, the mixture will be ready to bake in whatever shape is desirable.
