- 25 g sugar
- 10 g yeast
- 3 eggs
- 80 g butter
- 65 g crystallised fruit mixture

Soak the crystallised fruit in Grand Marnier beforehand. Mix together the flour, salt, sugar, eggs and yeast. Knead. When the pastry comes together mix in the butter. Continue to knead until the pastry is a whole and then mix in the drained crystallised fruit. Leave the pastry to rest at room temperature (it will increase in size). Press the pastry down so that it resettles, and then store it at 4°C for 12 hours.
