Instructions
Prepare all ingredients and dissolve the yeast in warm water.
Mix the yeast with some flour to form a ball and let it rest for 1 hour.
Combine remaining flour with eggs, warm milk, melted margarine, lemon and orange zest, sugar, aguardente, and salt.
Incorporate the yeast ball and knead well, then let it rise for 2 hours.
Shape into rings, decorate, and let rest for 15 minutes before baking at 180ºC for 15-20 minutes.
Cool and decorate with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
For a richer flavor, let the dough rest longer.
