lemon rind over hot water.

remaining flour and knead, adding gradually the
melted butter, until smooth and elastic.

rise in a warm place until it has doubled its size -
about 2 hours.

is prepared for New Year's Eve. It is served at midnight
and the person who finds the coin will have luck
throughout the year.
