3. Make a well in the centre of the flour and add the dissolved yeast. Mix in just enough flour to make a light batter and dust a little of the flour over the top.
4. Cover with a cloth and allow to prove in a warm place until the ferment breaks through the flour
5. Break in the eggs and mix to a smooth dough. Add the salt, sugar and butter, then mix to a smooth and elastic dough.

7. Half-fill greased and floured savarin moulds and allow to prove again until it reaches the top of the moulds.
