The recipe makes 12 pieces.

Instructions

1
Put the flour in a bowl, dissolve the yeast in the lukewarm milk and pour it in.
2
Add the sugar, the melted butter or margarine, the eggs, salt, lemon zest and rum and knead everything to a smooth, supple yeast dough.
3
Cover the dough and leave it to rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size.
4
Shape the dough into twelve equal balls, set them on a floured cloth and leave them to rise, covered.
5
Heat the clarified butter in a wide pan to 170 °C.
6
Pull each ball apart with your fingers from the middle outwards until the centre is wafer-thin and a thick rim is left all round.
7
Slide the Auszogne into the hot fat one after another and fry them golden brown on both sides, spooning hot fat over the thin middle again and again.
8
Drain the Auszogne on kitchen paper and sprinkle them with the sugar for sprinkling while they are still warm.
