Steps:
1.
Mix the baking powder in a glass with 4 tbsp of the milk then add this to 100g
of the flour and mix together until it forms a dough type mixture - cover with
a clean tea towel and set aside until it doubles in size
2.
Place the rest of the flour (300g) in a bowl and add the eggs, sugar, pinch of
salt, the rest of the milk and zest of the lemon - mix well then add the butter
and continue mixing for a further 2 mins then add the dough mixture - once a smooth
dough has been achieved cover and set aside for 2 hours
3.
After 2 hours knead the mixture a little before placing it on a greased baking
tray in the form of a ring. Put some little figures wrapped up in foil inside
the mixture and also a broad bean. Whoever finds the bean, according to tradition,
can expect to receive coal rather than presents from the Kings. Brush with milk,
decorate using the mixed peel, lightly sprinkle with sugar and place in a pre-heated
oven (160 degrees) for 15 - 20 mins
