  • 1 egg yolk and 1 tbsp water for spreading<\/li>
  • \u00bd t.s. ammonia (optional)<\/li> <\/ul> <\/div> <\/div>

    Execution<\/h4>
    1. Put the butter that we have left at room temperature in the bucket of the mixer and beat with the feather for 1 minute.<\/li>
    2. Then slowly add the sugar.<\/li>
    3. Turn off the mixer for a while and gather the walls with a spatula and continue beating until the butter is fluffy and white (about 3 minutes).<\/li>
    4. At the same time we break the eggs in a bowl.<\/li>
    5. Add the eggs one by one to the butter mixture, add one, wait for it to mix and then add the next, not all together.<\/li>
    6. Continue beating in the mixer until fluffy over medium to high volume.<\/li>
    7. While the mixer is working, put the orange juice with the soda in a tall glass and mix with a spoon, caution will swell.<\/li>
    8. Turn down the heat on the mixer and add the orange juice, milk, orange zest and lemon zest.<\/li>
    9. In a bowl, sift the flour and add the vanilla, the machete, the mastic.<\/li>
    10. Add half the amount of flour to the mixer, mix (not much) then add the rest and stop beating.<\/li>
    11. Our mixture does not want to be hit much because they will come out hard on us.<\/li>
    12. Put all the mixture on our counter and knead a little by hand to incorporate the flour well.<\/li>
    13. Cover with a film there as it is on our counter and leave for 20 minutes.<\/li>
    14. We work our dough with our hands.<\/li>
    15. Divide our mixture into balls the size of our palm.<\/li>
    16. We open the dough in sticks and then we make braids or shape it into the shape we want.<\/li>
    17. Put oil paste in our pan and place the cookies on top.<\/li>
    18. Mix the yolk with the water and spread the cookies.<\/li>
    19. Bake at 175 degrees for 20-25 minutes and enjoy!<\/li> <\/ol> <\/div> <\/div> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
