👩🍳 Preparation
Dough:
Mix flour, melted butter, salt, and warm water until a smooth dough forms.
Knead well and let rest for 1 hour covered with a damp cloth.
Roll out the dough extremely thin—almost transparent. Traditionally, it’s stretched by hand on a floured cloth.
Filling:
In a saucepan, combine sugar, water, cinnamon stick, and lemon peel.
Boil until it reaches a syrupy consistency. Remove cinnamon and lemon peel.
Let cool slightly, then slowly whisk in the egg yolks.
Return to low heat, stirring constantly until thickened. Do not boil. Let cool.
Assembly:
Cut the thin dough into rectangles.
Place a spoonful of filling in the center and fold into small parcels.
Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 10–15 minutes until lightly golden.
🍽️ Serving Suggestion
Serve warm or at room temperature, dusted with powdered sugar if desired. Perfect with coffee or tea!
