Preparation method
- Mix the yolks with the sugar until it dissolves well, then leave it aside.
- Boil the milk with the butter, then gradually add it to the egg yolk mixture.
- Return to medium-low heat, stirring until thick.
- Cover with plastic wrap so it doesn’t form a layer and let it cool.
- In another bowl, mix flour, yeast and sugar.
- Add milk, eggs, butter and salt, and mix until a homogeneous dough is formed.
- Knead for 5 minutes and leave to rest for an hour.
- With cold cream, add lemon and orange zest.
- After the dough has risen, it is cut into 60-gram pieces (yields about 9 units), rolled out using a rolling pin, then filled and shaped into balls.
- Let it rise for another 20 minutes.
- Cook over low heat for 5 minutes on each side, until golden.
