The result is a light, aromatic, and delicious cake that can be decorated with sugar, cinnamon, honey, or chocolate. It's an easy and fun recipe, perfect for cooking with kids.

Whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and add the milk (which we have previously infused with the lemon peel or whatever we want) and the water.
Add the flour and stir until the dough is light and without lumps. We place it in a narrow mold in which the flower can enter without difficulty.
Preheat the oil with the florón inside (we can put a lemon peel to give it more flavor). When it's really hot. Take it out and spread 3/4 on the dough. Without exceeding this measure so that it can be peeled off well.
We put it in the oil, wait for about 30 seconds and move it, until the flower peels off. We turn it around and repeat the operation. Very easy and delicious.
