Ingredients

  • 1 4- oz package vanilla pudding or 1 3-oz box and 2 tablespoons of sugar
  • 1 ½ cups milk
  • ½ cup butter I used unsalted
  • 2 envelopes yeast
  • ½ cup warm water
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 5 to 5 ½ cups flour I used bread flour

Instructions

  • Make cooked pudding according to package directions using 1 ½ cups milk. Remove from heat. Stir in butter and cool to lukewarm, stirring occasionally.
  • Dissolve yeast in warm water and stir into pudding. Beat in eggs and salt. Add enough flour to make moderately soft dough.
  • Turn out onto floured surface and knead 5 to 10 minutes, then place in greased bowl, turn once to grease surface. Cover and let rise in warm place until double. Punch down.
  • Form dough balls the size of a walnut and arrange on greased cookie sheet 1 ½ inches apart. Punch down center of dough ball and fill hollow with cherry pie filling. Let rise until almost double.
  • Bake at 375 for 15 minutes.

Notes

I wasn't able to find a 4 oz box of boxed cook and serve pudding, so I used a 4 serving size box (3 oz) and added 2 tablespoons granulated sugar.
