Preparation To make the dough, mix the flour, lard, salt and water on a wooden pastry board for as long as needed to mix all the ingredients together. Knead the dough well and roll it out to form a layer of 3mm. Cut it into discs with a diameter of 12 centimeters each,

Cover them with slices of cheese only a little smaller than the discs of dough. Add the grated lemon rind and put another disc on top. Close the border well.

Fry the seadas until they are golden brown on both sides. Serve them hot sprinkled with honey.
