The batter for the muffins prepared the night before. To prepare the dough: in an enamel bowl pour the milk, eggs, butter, sliced, 0.5 Cup. sugar. Lightly beat with a whisk, put on a weak fire. A bit warm (30-35*C), add dry yeast, 1 Cup. flour. Put in a warm place for 20-25 minutes. Knead the dough, adding the remaining flour and sugar. The dough should be very soft. The dough is put in a bag and placed in a refrigerator on the warm shelf, leave overnight.

In the morning, brew a Cup of very strong coffee...

... and pour it over the prunes.

To get coming up the dough from the refrigerator, prepare a large baking dish. You can, of course, the usual buns sculpt, but I have a Christmas version - snowflakes and Christmas trees.

Hands grease with vegetable oil. From test to tear off a small piece, slightly stretch in the palm, in the middle put the filling - a few pieces of prunes and chocolate.

To take and put into molds seam side down. Bake in a preheated 200*With the oven for about 25 min.

Here such turned out snowflakes.

And this tree.

And the little muffins in portion cups.
