1
Sift flour into a bowl and make a well in the center. Stir the yeast with 2 tbsp. of warm milk until it has dissolved, pour into the well, sprinkle with a little flour from the edges and let sit for 10-15 minutes.
2
Add remaining ingredients (except plums and cube sugar) and knead to a smooth dough. Cover the bowl and let the dough sit for 1-2 hours at a warm place until doubled in size. Afterwards knead and let sit again for a few minutes to let the dough relax.
3
Divide dough into 8 equal pieces, shape into small balls and flatten. Place 2 halved or quartered plums and a piece of cube sugar between them on the flat dough and fold like a little package. Place the buns side by side with the folded sides facing downward into a greased and sugared oven dish. Let them sit one last time for 30 minutes.
4
Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Brush the buns with melted butter and bake for 25-30 minutes until the surface is slightly browned. Sprinkle with icing sugar and serve immediately (with vanilla sauce or enjoy them as they are).

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
