½ a glass of Milk

½ a glass of Water

Salt

Grated lemon rind

1 teaspoon Moscatel (or sweet wine)

20 gr active Yeast

50 gr Butter

1 Egg

20 ml whipped Cream

50 gr Almond slices

50 gr chopped Candied Fruit

1 small Figurine

Preparation step by step

Mix 50gr sifted Flour and active Yeast. Add lukewarm Water. Work the mixture until a dough consistency is formed. Keep aside to let rise.

In a separate bowl, mix the remaining Flour, Sugar, Egg, Salt, Grated Lemon and Orange rind, Sweet Wine and Orange essence. Work the mixture while slowly adding the melted Butter and Milk.

When is well mixed, add to the first dough and knead until the dough has elasticity.

Cover and keep aside for 4 hours, to let it rise. Once it has doubled in size, divide the Dough in 2 parts.

Work each Dough ball to form a Ring of about 30 cm in diameter.

Preheat the oven to 180 degree Celsius.

Put the two Rings on a tray with parchment paper.

Meanwhile beat the Egg. Paint the Rings with the Egg and decorate with the Candied Fruits and Almonds.

Cook in the Oven for 20 minutes, until the top is golden. Remove from the oven and cool down.

To serve, mix whipped Cream with Sugar and spread on one of the cooked Rings.

Hide the dry Broad Bean and Figurine. Cover with the other half of the Ring and serve.
