You and I have already baked a lot of delicious buns with poppy seeds, Cinnabon, and made them from yeast dough in the oven. Today we will bake and sprinkle them with powder that we will make ourselves. These can be made without filling or vice versa with some jam. My daughters love this baked goods. And my wife and I don’t have to think about what to feed them for breakfast. And many parents know that this is a real problem.

Believe me, your preparations will be soft and inviting for a long time. I think you won’t even look at the store bought ones again. Now let’s prepare the necessary products and get down to business!
How to make bun topping using butter, flour and sugar
First, let's learn how to make crumbs, which are also called streusel or confectionery crumbs. This is what is used for powdering. It's easy to prepare. There is no need to bake anything in advance. While your dough is rising, you can easily cook it slowly. To do this you will need a dry bowl, a fork and your hands.
Ingredients:
- Flour – 4 tbsp. l.;
- Butter – 50 gr.;
- Sugar – 2 tbsp. l.
Preparation:
1. Remove the butter from the refrigerator in advance so that it becomes melted and soft. It will be better to work with him that way. Or melt it in the microwave, but then be sure to cool it. Put it in a bowl.
2. Add sugar and rub everything well. The mixture should be creamy.
3. Gradually add flour to it. We also grind. Quite large crumbs will form. Then start working with your hands. Rub the whole mass properly, then there will be quite small lumps. Place the finished ones in the refrigerator until needed.
Now let's get to the buns themselves.

Airy buns with sprinkles and dough like fluff
This recipe is very simple. But the products turn out incredibly tasty and airy. These squirrels can be eaten with tea or milk. The most important thing is that preparing them will not take you much time. Let's get started.
Ingredients:

1. First, heat the milk. It should be warm, not hot. Pour it into a bowl. Add yeast, 1 tablespoon of sugar and 2 tablespoons of flour there. Stir and cover the cup with a lid or cling film. Place in a warm place for 15 – 20 minutes. During this time, the mixture should be covered with a yeast cap.
If the milk is hot, the yeast will cook in it and everything will have to start over. They won't work when it's cold.
2. Melt the butter in the microwave or over steam. Then be sure to let it cool.
3. The dough is ready. Add salt, sugar, yolks, vanilla sugar or vanillin to it. Beat with a whisk or fork. Then we begin to gradually introduce flour. It can be sifted directly into the mixture or done in advance. When the mass is already thick, add butter and the rest of the wheat. Knead with your hands until the dough is homogeneous and soft, not sticking to your hands. Place it in a cup greased with vegetable oil and cover with cling film. Leave in a warm place for 30 minutes.
4. During this time the dough has risen. We knead it and leave it for the same amount again. Then we put it on a table sprinkled with flour and divide it into small pieces. Their size depends only on your preferences. Only later will the buns be small or large.
5. We form them into cones and place them on a baking sheet greased with vegetable oil or covered with parchment. Let them rise for 15 – 20 minutes.

How to dust baked goods with powdered sugar
How and what to do it correctly.
Sprinkle hot or cold baked goods.
Powdered sugar in German baked goods.
In Germany, powdered sugar is a very popular baking product. It is used not only for decoration. In German cookie dough recipes, regular sugar is often replaced with powdered sugar. Then the shortbread cookies will be softer and more crumbly.
In addition, powdered sugar is like a lifesaver - the fastest and easiest way to correct surface defects. Below is a photo of my streusel pie. It was too juicy, so it turned out pale on top. Sorry, no pink crust. I sprinkled it with powder and everything is fine.
Using sprinkles, you can add aroma and taste to baked goods by mixing the powder with vanilla sugar or spices. It turns out easy and tasty if you put cardamom pods in a bag of powdered sugar in advance. When sprinkled, they will, of course, remain on the sieve.
There are a lot of tips on German culinary forums on how to make powdered sugar yourself, including from brown cane sugar. By the way, brown powder is not used for future use, because it does not store well, strongly absorbs moisture from the air and turns into lumps.
How to dust baked goods with powdered sugar if you don't have a sieve
As you know, the simplest and most popular tool is a fine sieve. If you have sieves with cells of different sizes, you can use two, it will turn out beautifully like a Swiss cookie.
If you don't have a sieve, you can sprinkle the cookies through a tea strainer or using a tea spoon. For a small portion of baked goods, a spoon is ideal. The main thing is to put the powder into it correctly. There should be enough of it so that the spoon is tightly closed. Otherwise it won't work out neatly.
For small baked goods, there is a third method: Pour powdered sugar into a bowl. Gently roll the cookies, turning them over with a spoon in a bowl of powder.
