To this add the butter flakes, eggs, egg yolks, orange fruit, sugar, lemon zest, vanilla sugar, salt and the dampfl form divided into pieces. Knead everything together at the beginning on speed 1, then on speed 2, until a smooth, elastic, non-sticky dough is formed. Cover the dough in an oiled baking bowl and let it rise overnight.

The next morning, remove the remaining butter from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature. Return the dough to the baking bowl of the food processor one more time and knead through, adding the butter flakes first, then the fruit (or chocolate drops, if you like) at the end.
