1 pound shortening
1 cup milk
4 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
1 teaspoon salt

*In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, salt and baking powder.


*Cut in the shortening until the mixture is mealy.


*Stir in the egg yolks and milk mixture.


*Knead the dough together and then refrigerate overnight.


Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

*Carefully roll out your dough to 1/4 inch thickness.


*Cut out circles with a cookie cutter.


*Place a teaspoon of jam on the center of each circle, fold the dough over, and seal the edge with a fork.


*Bake for 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven.
