Ingredients (one paschal lamb -1 litre):

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 170 degrees, then butter and flour the paschal lamb shaped baking-tin.
Step 2: For the dough:
Beat eggs, icing sugar, salt and lemon zest for about 10 min. until fluffy. Then add oil and egg liqueur or whipped cream (whatever you prefer) whilst mixing. Strain together flour and baking powder and add in a spoonful at a time to the mixture.
Step 3: Fill the dough mixture into the baking-tin. Put it on a baking tray and then on the bottom rail. Bake for about 40 minutes.
Step 4: Let it cool down in the baking-tin for about 10 minutes. Then remove it carefully. Leave the paschal lamb to cool on a cooling rack for another hour until it’s completely cold. If needed cut the bottom until the lamb stands easily.
