Pour the flour into a bowl and press a depression into it. Warm 250 ml milk lukewarm. Mix yeast, 100 ml warm milk and 25 g sugar, pour into the bowl and dust with flour. Leave in a warm place for about 10 minutes. Add 150 ml warm milk, 75 g sugar, salt, egg and 100 g soft fat to the bowl rim. Knead everything with the dough hooks of the hand mixer to a smooth dough. Cover and leave to rise in a warm place for about 45 minutes until the dough has doubled in volume. For the stewed cherries, drain the cherries and collect the juice in a saucepan. Bring the juice to the boil with vanillin sugar. Stir starch with 100 ml water until smooth. Remove from heat, stir in the starch. Simmer for about 1 minute while stirring. Mix in cherries and let cool down. Knead the dough once more and divide it into 8 pieces. Shape into balls. Place balls close together in an ovenproof dish. Cover and leave to rise for another 10 minutes. Meanwhile melt 25 g fat. Add 100 ml Mich. Pour the mixture over the balls. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of sugar.
