Preparation Mix the flour and the sugar on a board then add the pine nuts and the candied citron peels. Steep the raisins in warm water then add half to the dough. Add the eggs and the softened butter. Mix the bicarbonate in a little warm milk as well as a teaspoon of baking powder both to be added to the dough, a little at a time.

Knead the dough and form a ball. Let it rise for an hour covered with a kitchen cloth. Now knead the dough again then put it on a buttered oven dish. Beat an egg yolk and brush the dough. Add the other half of the raisins on the top. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 180°C. for an hour.
 
The Chef's tips Let the dough rise in a cool dry place.
