Step 1
First, prepare the sponge. To do this, add yeast, one tablespoon of sugar, and a little flour to a small amount of warm milk. Mix everything and leave in a warm place until bubbles appear. Combine the remaining sugar, milk, and butter or margarine, and melt together on the stove. Sift the flour, add vanilla extract, and beat in the eggs.
