To make you lick your fingers

Nuns' sweet bread

What you need

  • 1 kg fine flour
  • 100 g sugar
  • 100 g lard
  • 3 eggs
  • a cup of orange juice
  • packet of baking powder

How to make it

  1. It's really easy. Mix the sugar and whipped egg yokes until you get a creamy mixture. Then add the milk and orange juice and stir with a wooden spatula. Slowly keep adding the flower and yeast, continuing to stir.
  2. Now beat the egg whites until they peak and mix them with the previous mixture, without thickening. Pour this dough into a circular mould greased with butter. Cook in the oven at medium temperature for 50 minutes.
  3. Then you can enjoy this really smooth Coca - and if it's with wee glass of cava, all the better!
