3 tbsp sugar
lemon peel
6 egg whites

Mix everything, keep adding milk. Knead the dough, put it back in a large bowl and cover it with a cloth. Leave it for an hour before rolling it out and topping it with the filling.


Filling Instructions:

Boil overheated cream with milk. Rinse raisins and put them in a small bowl, adding some rum. Put ground walnuts in a big bowl, mix in the overheated cream/milk mixture, and add more milk. Add 3 tbsp of sugar, lemon peels and butter. Mix again. Spread butter all over a deep baking tray. Make snow from the egg whites and mix them in. Spread the mixture onto the rolled out dough, add rum soaked raisins on top. Roll the dough with the filling. Put in a backing tray, cover with a whisked egg on top and bake on 220°C for an hour.
