Butterkuchen (Quick and Easy Pastry) image

If you've never made a yeasted coffeecake, give it a try. It's a yummy cross between a pastry and a cake, with a delicious topping. It only has to rise for 45 minutes, so it's very do-able for weekends. (Rising time is included in the cooking time below.)

Time 1h30m

Yield 1 10x13 pan, 12-16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 (1/4 ounce) packets dry yeast
1/2 cup lukewarm water
1 pinch sugar
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter
4 cups flour
3 eggs, slightly beaten
1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • In a pyrex mixing bowl, combine milk, 1/2 c sugar, salt and 1/2 c butter. Heat in microwave until butter is melted.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, dissolve both packets of yeast into warm water with the pinch of sugar.
  • Measure flour into another mixing bowl. Add eggs and stir to just combine. When butter has melted, add the liquid to the flour mixture and stir a little. Then add yeast and stir enough so that all ingredients are combined.
  • Grease a 10x13 pan and spread dough in pan. Let rise in a warm place for 45 minutes.
  • While dough is rising, preheat oven to 375 degrees. Also, mix together the topping ingredients and sprinkle over the dough.
  • Place in oven over a halfsheet to catch any syrup that runs over the top. Bake for 22-27 minutes or until the top is golden and syrupy. Be careful not to overbake.
