Hard-boil the eggs and let them cool.
Preparing the dough:
In a bowl, mix the eggs with the milk, flour, sugar, lard, orange zest and salt. Mix well, then add the ammonia.
On a floured surface, roll out the dough to a thickness of about one centimeter.
Cut out the desired shapes and make long, thin strips from the remaining dough.
Shaping the cookies:
Place the hard-boiled eggs in the middle of the cookies, then place two strips crosswise, pressing the edges well onto the cookies.
Brush the surface of the cookies with beaten egg and decorate with colorful candies.
Bake in an oven preheated to 180°C for 20-25 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown.
Tips and variations:
You can also use butter instead of lard.
You can decorate the cookies with chocolate or other sweets.
When shaping, your imagination can run wild, you can make bunnies, eggs, or any other Easter shape.
Important notes:
Using ammonia (baking soda) helps to achieve a light and soft texture of the dough.
Store the cookies in a cool place to maintain their freshness.
Happy baking and happy Easter!
