Steps:
- In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm water. Let stand until mixture starts to bubble, about 5 minutes.
- Sift together flour, sugar and salt. Place in the bowl of an electric mixer. Add shortening, yeast and water, eggs and vanilla and beat until dough is smooth. Let stand while you are preparing filling.
- Mix filling ingredients in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer uncovered for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let cool.
- On a well floured surface, roll out dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Add flour whenever dough begins to stick. Cut dough into pieces 5 inches square. Place 1 tablespoon filling in center of square, then fold dough over on top and pinch to close. Pinch ends closed. Cover buns with a towel and let stand 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Brush buns with egg wash and sprinkle tops with sugar. Bake until browned, about 16 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
POLISH/CZECH BLUEBERRY BUNS
We went over for dinner at a Polish friend's house and they served these for dinner. They are fluffy, lightly sweetened buns of steamed dough filled with blueberries. When I investigated the recipe, all I could find was a Czech version. I tweaked it to be just like my Polish friend's recipe. I hope you like it! You need a steamer for this. This recipe looks wildy complicated, but it really isn't...just try it once- I could eat 10 of these things!

Steps:
- Mix together all dry ingredients in bowl of stand mixer.
- Mix together milk, egg, and oil in 2 cup measure, add to flour mixture.
- Knead using dough hook until a very sticky dough forms.
- Scrape sown the sides of the bowl several times during kneading.
- Scrape down the bowl to 'neaten up' the dough ball and let rest/rise in a VERY LOW oven, the lowest possible setting-- for 1 hour-- or until double in bulk.
- Pinch off golf ball sized lumps of dough with floured hands and flatten into a disc, wrap about 6-8 blueberries in the dough, pinching it together, forming a neat ball. Place in steamer (I placed mine on squares of wax paper- don't know if this is absolutely necessary).
- Let rise again in low oven for about 20-30 minute.
- Steam over boiling water for 8 minutes.
- Spoon over some melted butter and cinnamon sugar-- enjoy!
