Make a well in the flour, and pour into it the glass of warm milk, the powdered sugar, the melted lard (or warmed butter), a pinch of salt and grated lemon rind, 2 eggs or 1 whole egg and 3 whipped yolks. Mix everything until consistent.

Lastly add an envelop of yeast, leave to rest and then bake at 400° in a round buttered oven pan, putting a bowl in the center of the dish to make a hole! Sprinkle the surface with vanilla-flavored sugar or sugar grains.
