Ingredients for 8 brioches

180 g of flour
90 g   of butter
10 g   of yeast dissolved in lukewarm water
20 g   of icing sugar
1        entire egg
1        egg yolk
          Salt

Mix up the ingredients and knead the paste until getting elastic. Let the paste rest for half an hour. Spread with butter and powder with flour the brioche forms. Divide the paste into 8 portions. Now divide every single piece of paste in 2 parts: put 2/3 in the form; put 1/3 on its top as a small dot
Let these brioches rest again until nearly the redoubling of the mass. Switch on the oven to 170 grades and add a pot filled with water (for the humidity during baking). Now brush the brioches with egg yolk, overlay with almond slivers and bake them in the oven for approximately 20 minutes.
Powder the lukewarm brioches with icing sugar and serve them with a home made marmalade and butter.
