Method (preview)

1. 1

   Combine flour, salt and mace.

2. 2

   Cut in the butter - fine crumbs.

3. 3

   Beat yolks with sugar in a cup (use a fork) and add to flour mixture with cream.

4. 4

   Dissolve yeast in the warmed milk till foamy.

5. 5

   Add to first mixture, blending well with wooden mixing spoon.

6. 6

   Dough should cling together and be somewhat tacky.

7. 7

   Use floured hands to shape into a ball.

8. 8

   Don't feel inclined to knead this soft dough.

9. 9

   Cover bowl and place in refrigerator overnight. It won't seem to have risen much but don't worry - it will again.

10. 10

    Dough doesn't rise much when chilled (don't skip this chilling step!) but will rise slowly at room temperature when rolled out and fitted to fill a 9-inch bundt cake pan.

11. 11

    Filling.

12. 12

    Spread on some dabs softened butter and as desired: heavy sprinkles of white and light brown sugar and cinnamon and some chopped raisins.

13. 13

    Finely chopped nuts are also great.

14. 14

    Sprinkle on Ube powder last.

15. 15

    Use the Ube powder to make the glaze, icing or with powder sugar for dusting.
