A yeast dough rich in eggs and butter, kneaded, risen and baked in a ring pan, and soaked with hot syrup as it comes out of the oven. Here based on the recipe itself, with no verified source.
Bring the sugar and water to a boil. Turn down the heat and simmer 5 minutes, until the sugar melts and the syrup thickens slightly.
⚙ SimmeringStove
💡A gentle simmer, not a boil: a hard boil dries the food out and clouds it, a slow simmer cooks it evenly.
2
Add the lemon juice.
💡The lemon keeps the sugar from crystallizing again.
To assemble
3
Preheat the oven to 180°C (355°F).
⚙ Preheating the OvenOven
💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
4
In a bowl, mix the flour, yeast and sugar. Add the eggs, melted butter and milk and knead for 5 minutes.

💡Check by the cue (until…), not just the clock: every oven bakes a little differently.
8
