Ingredients

1 1/3 cup milk

2 eggs beaten

2 tsp vanilla

2 tsp lemon extract

3/4 cup sugar

1 1/2 tsp salt

1/3 cup butter softened

4 1/2 cups flour

2 tbsp orange rind

2 tbsp lemon rind

2 1/2 tsp yeast


Directions

1. Mix together milk, egg, vanilla, and lemon extract, pour in bottom of bread maker. 2. Add other ingredients on top. Use sweet bread setting or dough cycle if baking in oven. 3. If baking in oven, take dough out and put into muffins tins, pyrex or bundt pan. Let rise until double (1 hour?). Bake @ 325F for 15-20 minutes for muffins, 20-30 minutes for loaf pan. 4. Top with icing(*) and if you want your paska to be authentically Russian/Ukranian Mennonite, then you have to put rainbow sprinkles on top.

I made an account just so I could rate this one. I grew up with my Oma (Grandma) making paska buns every Easter. They were so good. This recipe is perfect (I won't tell Oma). I have two young boys and don't have time to make the dough by hand. I tell ya, the breadmaker part was slick. I used the dough setting and then put about 1/3 cup of the completed dough in each (deep) silicone muffin tray. In an hour, they rose to double, then filled the rest of the way when I baked them. Definitely have this recipe saved for future Easters.

Excellent recipe! I tried it for the first time a year ago and fell in love. Made it again this year and had to share the recipe with three other Russian Mennonite paska aficionados who liked it better than their own recipes. Definitely a keeper.

Please add the flour amount to this recipe. I'm sure it's great, but I don't see the flour.
