Directions
- Sift flour into bowl, and mix in baking powder.
- Add butter, egg yolk, sugar, cognac, and lemon peel; and knead to make a fairly soft dough. Separate into 2 parts.
- Roll one out into a fairly thick crust; place in a square pan.
- Break off a piece of dough from the remaining half and roll between your palms into a coil to fit around the crust.
- Wet the edge of the crust with a little water and gently press the coil around the edges, so it adheres to the crust, and against the sides of the pan; shape with the fingers to form the side crust.
- Spread the marmalade over the bottom crust.
- Shape additional coils, each about as thick as your little finger, from the rest of the dough, and lay them on the marmalade in a crisscross latticework pattern.
- Join to the crust with a little water.
- Bake in preheated 300 F. oven for 30 to 40 min.
- Cool and cut into squares.
