- 1
Place half of the flour in a bowl. Add the yeast dissolved in warm water and mix until you get a creamy dough. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 to 45 minutes.
- 2
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing each in to fully incorporate into the dough.
- 3
Add the remaining flour and the sugar, then knead well until the dough is elastic. Let the dough rest for 30 minutes.
- 4
Roll out the dough until very thin, spread the lard over it, and roll it up.
- 5
Cut pieces of dough about two fingers wide, stretch them out, and shape them into ensaimadas.
- 6
Place the ensaimadas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them well apart to prevent sticking during rising and baking.
- 7
Let them rise until doubled in size, then bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C).
- 8
Remove the ensaimadas from the oven, let them cool, and dust with powdered sugar.
