Method

In a small saucepan, heat the butter and half of the milk gently until the butter has melted. Remove from the heat and stir in the sugar and the rest of the milk. The mixture should be lukewarm. If too cold, warm very gently and if too warm, allow to cool slightly. Sprinkle the yeast on top and leave for a few minutes, until you see bubbles start to appear on top.
