100 grams yeast
1/2 pound sugar
2 packages vanilla sugar (Dr. Oetker brand comes in little packages. I can get it at a German store in Reno.) You can also make your own easily, but I'll have get the amount -- think it's about 1 tablespoon in the package.) Assuming you cannot get it in Lincoln.

The evening before: The 1/2 pound butter and fat heated together and then left to cool -- will become solid again. Also mix the raisins with the rum and lemon juice and let stand overnight.
The next day, dissolve the yeast in the warmed-up milk (@115-120 degrees F. Add to flour, knead til blisters form in dough, and leave to rest for 2 hours. Then mix in all other ingredients, knead til dough is again "alive". Let stand another hour. (These are all the instructions I got.)
