Instructions
- Sift the flour with the baking powder.
- Heat a medium-pot to low temperature and add the butter, stir until it melts. Add the water, salt and sugar.
- Add the flour mixture and stir with a wooden spoon, mixing constantly until the dough starts to separate from the pot and you see a fine film of dough covering the bowl.
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl and add the eggs, one at the time, mixing with an electric mixer. Add the lemon zest.
