1 + ¾ Solje brasna
2 kasicice praska za pecico
½ kasicice soli

Postupak:

2. U vecu zdjelu umutite jaja, secer, kokosovo maslo. Nakon jedne minute dobit cete pjenastu masu, to je znak da je vrijeme da dodate pistace, mlijeko, aromu vanilije i naredndanu koru limuna. Izmiksajte pa potom odlozite mikser. Vise vam nece biti potreban.
3. U posebnoj zdjeli pomijesajte brasno, prasak za pecivo i so. Polako dodajite u ranije umucenu masu i sve sjedinite drvenom kasikom.
 4. Izlijte u pleh i pecite oko 50 minuta. Cackalicom provjerite je li peceno.
5. Kada izvadite iz rerne, ostavite kolac u kalupu jos nekoliko minuta prije nego ga prebacite na plocu za hladjenje.
6. Glazuru izlijte preko hladnog kolaca. Napravit cete je tako sto cete pomijesati secer u prahu s limunovim sokom. I to je to!
