Take 10 eggs, 1 glass cream, ½ glass yeast mixture, 1 glass butter, ½ glass sugar, zest of 1 lemon and enough flour to make a batter as thick as waffle batter.
Beat well, pour into a mould or saucepan greased with butter and sprinkled with breadcrumbs, allow the dough to rise and bake in a hot oven.
