Cover and let rise in a warm place for about 15 minutes. Melt the butter in the remaining milk, add the sugar, salt and egg yolks and mix with the dampfl to form a smooth dough. Let it rise again with the lid closed in a warm place for about half an hour. Cut out a Stutenkerl figure from the parchment paper.
