What you do!

Man watch it foam, then dilute them butter in them milk, warm them up slow, melt them butter, and add to them flour n' yeast. Beat them eggs lightly, and add to them flour mixture. Mix them well into a dough. Work them dough until smooth and elastic,(Use more flour ifn' the consistency ain't right), about 5-10 minutes. Make a ball out them dough and put in a floured pan or bowl to rise.
Cover with them cheese cloth to keep them critters out. Let rise at room temperature (or in them oven at no more than 100 degrees F). Let them rise until it is double its size in bulk.

Sprinkle with them powdered white sugar, and then bite into them and enjoy. Great with hot coffee or tea. Anytime.
